Galatasary have offered Emmanuel
Eboue a lifeline after the former Arsenal defender revealed he had contemplated
suicide after falling on hard times.
The Gunners cult hero admitted he
had seriously considered taking his own life after financial mismanagement has
left him penniless with a bitter divorce meaning he has been estranged from his
three children since the summer.
However help is at hand after the
Turkish giants said they would hand an academy coaching role to the hard-up
34-year-old.
Gala boss Fatish Terim, who has
taken over at the Istanbul club for the fourth time in his career, told CNN
Turk that he would give the former Ivory Coast full-back the role of under-14
assistant coach at the club.
Terim said: ‘We heard news about
Eboue in the dressing room, I was informed there, we will do whatever we can to
help my friend.’
Eboue, who played in the 2006
Champions League final for the Gunners against Barcelona, earned millions in a
seven year Premier League career, slept in a palatial home and drove expensive
cars, was said to be delighted at the offer.
