Former Rangers boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst will walk away from Besiktas with a cool £4.5 million for six months' work.
The ex-Ibrox manager was axed by the Turkish club after a Europa League loss to Maccabi Tel-Aviv, which followed a run of four games without a win in the league.
It left the Istanbul club floundering in sixth place in the title race and Besiktas pulled the plug on the Dutchman.
However, van Bronckhorst's deal reportedly included a severance payment of £2 million for him and an additional £1 million for his team of coaches.
