'''Fatih Terim''' (born 4 September 1953) is a [[Turkish people|Turkish]] professional [[Association football|football]] [[Manager (association football)|manager]] and former player. 

During his football career, he played for [[Ceyhanspor]], [[Adana Demirspor]] and Galatasaray. In his eleven years of playing time for Galatasaray, he won the [[Prime Minister's Cup (Turkey)|Prime Minister's Cup]] in 1975 and in 1979, the Turkish Cup in [[:tr:1975–76 Türkiye Kupası|1975–76]], [[:tr:1981–82 Federasyon Kupası|1981–82]] and [[:tr:1984–85 Federasyon Kupası|1984–85]] seasons and the [[Turkish Super Cup]] in [[:tr:1982 Devlet Başkanlığı Kupası|1982]] with the club. Terim has managed several clubs in Italy ([[A.C. Milan]] and [[Fiorentina]]) and Turkey, as well as the [[Turkey national football team|Turkey national team]], most recently from 2013 to 2017.<ref>{{cite news|title=Fatih Terim out as Turkey manager after fight with restaurant owner|url=https://www.espn.com/soccer/turkey/story/3165513/fatih-terim-out-turkey-manager-after-fight-with-restaurant-owner|newspaper=[[ESPN]]|access-date=27 September 2017|date=26 July 2017}}</ref>

In a survey conducted by the [[International Federation of Football History & Statistics]] (IFFHS) in 80 countries, he was placed among the best eight managers in the world, receiving his award at a ceremony held in [[Rothenburg ob der Tauber|Rothenburg]], Germany, on 8 January 2001. On 25 April 2007, Terim received the order of "[[Commander (order)|Commendatore]]" awarded by the Italian state.<ref name=":1"/> In 2008, he received a nomination for [[UEFA]] manager of the year and [[Eurosport]] named him the best coach at [[UEFA Euro 2008]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://sevilenfrm.com/milli-takim/10706-en-iyisi-terim-secildi.html |title=En iyisi Terim seçildi |access-date=13 December 2008 |url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110716043424/http://sevilenfrm.com/milli-takim/10706-en-iyisi-terim-secildi.html |archive-date=16 July 2011 }} (in Turkish). ''Sevilenfrm.com''. Retrieved 24 June 2012.</ref> In December 2008, he was ranked the seventh-best football manager in the world by ''[[World Soccer (magazine)|World Soccer]]'' magazine in 2008.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.setimes.com/cocoon/setimes/xhtml/en_GB/features/setimes/roundup/2008/12/17/roundup-cl-03 |publisher=Setimes|title=Culture and Sports: Turkish football coach is listed among top ten in world|date=8 February 2011}}</ref> His Turkish nickname is "''İmparator''", and his Italian nickname is "''Imperatore''". Both names mean "emperor".

== Club career ==
[[File:Fatih Terim - Adana Demirspor 1973 (cropped).jpg|thumb|Terim with [[Adana Demirspor]] in 1973]]
In 1969, Terim began his professional football career with Adana Demirspor. Because of his financial difficulties, he was the only player in the team who was being paid secretly by the club at the time.{{Clarify|date=November 2013|reason=Were the others being paid openly or not being paid at all?}}{{Citation needed|date=December 2023}} He became the team captain three years later. He attracted attention with the game he displayed in Adana Demirspor, who became the champions of the [[TFF First League|2nd League]] in the [[:tr:1972–73 Türkiye 2. Futbol Ligi|1972–73 season]]. Terim played for Adana Demirspor until 1974, when he joined [[Galatasaray S.K. (football)|Galatasaray]] as a [[Sweeper (football)|sweeper]] on 8 July 1974. Terim played eleven years for the Istanbul club. During that time, the club never won the [[Süper Lig|Turkish league]] championship trophy.

He played for the [[Turkey national football team|Turkey national team]] 51 times between 1974 and 1985 and was the national team captain for 35 international matches, setting the national record in both categories at that time. In 1985, he had a fight with referee Hamza Alan for showing a red card to his teammate in a match and Terim was also shown a red card. It is alleged that Terim refused to leave the field, provoked the tribunes and was removed from the field by police forces. He decided to quit football after receiving a five-match penalty.

Terim's jubilee was held at [[Ali Sami Yen Stadium]]. He showed up to his jubilee match, which was between [[Trabzonspor]] and [[Galatasaray S.K.|Galatasaray]], by landing on the pitch by helicopter while the game was being played.<ref>{{Cite web |last= |title=Fatih Terim'in imparatorluk öyküsü |url=https://www.haberturk.com/fatih-terim--2681087 |access-date=2023-12-26 |website=[[Habertürk]] |language=tr}}</ref>

During his time as a footballer, he drew attention with his undisciplined behaviour and was frequently fined. [[Abdullah Gegiç]], a famous football coach with [[FK Partizan|Partizan]] in the former Yugoslavia and [[Eskişehirspor]] in Turkey, knew Terim from his days as a central defender and described him as an intelligent defender with "[[Franz Beckenbauer|Beckenbauer]]-like" qualities. Gegiç attributed Terim's successes as a coach to the unique understanding of the game that he developed while playing as a central defender.

== Managerial career ==
=== Early years ===
After retiring from professional football, his first training appointment came from [[Jupp Derwall]] while they were both at Galatasaray. Terim's coaching career began when he was appointed the coach of [[MKE Ankaragücü|Ankaragücü]]. He coached the club for 18 months before moving on to coach [[Göztepe S.K.|Göztepe]] in [[İzmir]] for a year. He had no significant success with either team. He was appointed as assistant to Turkey's national coach, [[Sepp Piontek]], in 1990. He also coached the [[Turkey national under-21 football team|Turkey under-21 team]]. After serving as assistant coach for three years, he was appointed coach in 1993. Under his management, Turkey qualified for the final tournament of [[UEFA Euro 1996|European Football Championship]] in 1996, for the first time in its history. Although they did not perform well in the tournament, losing all their matches and not scoring any goals, qualification was still considered a great achievement for [[Turkish football]].

==== Galatasaray (first term) ====
After Euro 1996, Terim signed a contract with Galatasaray. The club had invested in strong (international) players such as [[Gheorghe Hagi|Gica Hagi]], [[Gheorghe Popescu (footballer, born 1967)|Gica Popescu]], [[Cláudio Taffarel|Taffarel]] and [[Adrian Ilie|Ilie]] as well as high-potential (academy) players such as [[Emre Belözoğlu|Emre]]. Under his management Galatasaray won the Turkish league championship for four consecutive years and the [[UEFA Europa League|UEFA Cup]] in [[2000 UEFA Cup Final|2000]], making Terim the most successful [[List of Galatasaray S.K. managers|Galatasaray manager]] in its history. His departure allowed [[Mircea Lucescu]] to clinch the [[UEFA Super Cup]] in [[2000 UEFA Super Cup|2000]] for Galatasaray.

=== Fiorentina ===
Terim moved from Galatasaray to the Italian [[Serie A]], signing a one-year contract with [[ACF Fiorentina|Fiorentina]]. His aggressive style of football and his tense relationship with club president and owner [[Vittorio Cecchi Gori]] made Terim popular among Fiorentina fans. With new boys Brazilian [[Leandro Amaral]] and Portugal's [[Nuno Gomes]] doing well up front, with a steadier defence and with Portuguese playmaker [[Rui Costa]] blossoming under Terim's constant praise and encouragement Fiorentina became a strong team in Italy. The league wins against [[A.C. Milan]] (4–0), [[Inter Milan|Internazionale]], [[Udinese Calcio|Udinese]] and holding [[Juventus FC|Juventus]] to a 3–3 draw came in a fortnight when the [[Florence]] club cruised into the final of the [[2000–01 Coppa Italia|Coppa Italia]] eliminating Milan 4–2 on aggregate. Despite his poor start in the [[UEFA Cup]] (eliminated 5-3 on agg. by [[FC Tirol Innsbruck|Tirol Innsbruck]] in the [[2000–01 UEFA Cup first round|first round]]), Terim had managed to communicate something of himself to both his players and to the club's demanding fans. Even as Cecchi Gori was beginning to count the cost of sacking him, the fans made it clear that they were on the side of Terim.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Agnew |first1=Paddy |title=Tide turns for fiery Terim at Fiorentina |url=https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/tide-turns-for-fiery-terim-at-fiorentina-1.1121913 |access-date=18 January 2022 |agency=The Irish Times |date=19 December 2000}}</ref>

However, later he announced that he would not renew his contract by the end of the season, because Cecchi Gori did not intend to make the investments that he requested. The team's performance declined significantly from then on because of his continuing clashes with Cecchi Gori led Terim to resign on 26 February 2001, before the season ended. Fiorentina director general [[Giancarlo Antognoni]], one of the greatest players in the club's history, also resigned along with Terim's entire coaching staff, despite the fact that Cecchi Gori had begged him to stay.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Alberto |first1=Costa |title="Io, bandiera viola per sempre La fedeltà conta più dei trofei" |url=http://archiviostorico.corriere.it/2011/febbraio/11/bandiera_viola_per_sempre_fedelta_co_9_110211104.shtml |access-date=18 January 2022 |work=Corriere Della Sera |agency=Corriere Della Sera |date=11 February 2011 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20150316171302/http://archiviostorico.corriere.it/2011/febbraio/11/bandiera_viola_per_sempre_fedelta_co_9_110211104.shtml |archive-date=16 March 2015 |url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Mancini suffers Fiorentina hitch |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/europe/1191217.stm |access-date=18 January 2022 |agency=BBC |date=27 February 2001}}</ref>

The Romanian football legend [[Gheorghe Hagi]] praised his work in [[Florence]]: "In five months he built up a phenomenal side at Fiorentina. Name me another foreigner capable of that. He's extraordinary – he could coach any side."<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.worldsoccer.com/interviews/gheorghe_hagi_interview_55859.html|publisher=World Soccer Magazine|title=Gheorghe Hagi|year=2000|access-date=22 March 2009|archive-date=29 June 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110629151655/http://www.worldsoccer.com/interviews/gheorghe_hagi_interview_55859.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> Prior his leave from Florence there were rumours that Terim would join Milan next season.<ref>{{cite news |title=For Berlusconi's Team, 1-1 Draw Is Stuff of Tragedy : AC Milan Falls Short Of 'Glory' Against PSG |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2001/02/16/sports/IHT-for-berlusconis-team-11-draw-is-stuff-of-tragedy-ac-milan-falls.html |website=[[The New York Times]] |date=16 February 2001 |access-date=14 January 2022|last1=Berlin |first1=Peter }}</ref>

=== Milan ===

On 18 June 2001, Terim signed a two-year contract with [[A.C. Milan]] replacing the caretaker manager [[Cesare Maldini]].<ref>{{cite web |title=A.C MILAN UNVEIL THEIR NEW TEAM COACH FATIH TERIM |url=https://reuters.screenocean.com/record/257699 |website=Reuters Archive Licensing |publisher=Reuters |access-date=19 January 2022 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=All change in Milan |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/europe/1393581.stm |access-date=18 January 2022 |work=BBC Sport |agency=BBC Sport |publisher=BBC Sport |date=17 June 2001}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Goss |first1=Patrick |title=TERIM: 'I WILL GET RID OF MANY PLAYERS' |url=https://www.skysports.com/football/news/2212223/terim-i-will-get-rid-of-many-players |access-date=18 January 2022 |work=Sky Sports |agency=Sky Sports |publisher=Sky Sports}}</ref> He transformed Milan's system, employing a style very similar to the [[total football]] of [[Rinus Michels]], playing a 4–3–1–2 formation with [[Rui Costa]] as a key player, whom he brought from his previous team, Fiorentina. Terim built a highly attacking side, but during this period Milan was also notorious for being vulnerable at the back, often conceding goals unexpectedly and drawing against "underdog" teams.
On 5 November 2001, after the 0–1 defeat against [[AC Torino|Torino]] his contract was terminated after only five months of work and he was replaced by [[Carlo Ancelotti]],<ref>{{cite web |title=Ancelotti replaces Terim at Milan |url=https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/news/017f-0e6a318983aa-50dcf21b60f0-1000--ancelotti-replaces-terim-at-milan/ |website=[[UEFA]] |date=5 November 2001 |publisher=UEFA |access-date=14 January 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Milan, Fatih Terim'le yollarını ayırdı |url=http://arsiv.ntv.com.tr/news/117194.asp |website=NTV.com.tr |publisher=NTV |access-date=14 January 2022}}</ref> despite the fact that Terim had received a vote of confidence from Milan vice-president [[Adriano Galliani|Galliani]] following a 1–1 draw with bottom-placed Venezia in mid-October.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/1639971.stm|title=AC Milan sack Terim|publisher=[[BBC Sport]]|access-date=14 January 2022|date=5 November 2001}}</ref> However [[Paolo Maldini]] had admitted that the players must share the blame for Terim's sacking as manager: "Terim's failure was also our failure. Now the team must look at themselves as there are no more excuses. Maybe it was the players' fault because we couldn't put Terim's teachings into action".<ref>{{cite news |title=MALDINI BLAMES PLAYERS FOR TERIM'S EXIT |url=https://www.skysports.com/football/news/2222581/maldini-blames-players-for-terims-exit |access-date=14 January 2022 |agency=Sky Sports |publisher=Peter O`Rourke}}</ref> Another reaction was made by midfielder [[Cristian Brocchi|Brocchi]] about the pressure from the board of directors to Terim: "From the beginning there was a lot of external pressure on Terim as well as many dubious episodes that made one think there wasn't 100% faith in him".<ref>{{cite news |title=Fatih gets the chop as Milan look to Ancelotti |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2001/nov/06/europeanfootball.sport |access-date=14 January 2022 |work=The Guardian |agency=The Guardian |date=6 November 2001}}</ref>

=== Return to Galatasaray (second term) ===
In the summer of 2002, Terim returned to Galatasaray after Lucescu resigned at the end of the [[2001–02 Galatasaray S.K. season|2001-2002 season]] despite winning the league. Terim brought back [[Ümit Davala]] and [[Hakan Ünsal]] from the UEFA Cup winning squad and transferred Felipe to the number 10 position. On 11 August 2002, Terim's second Galatasaray campaign started successfully with a 4–1 victory over Samsunspor in the first week of the [[2002–03 Süper Lig|Süper Lig]]. After going undefeated for the first 10 weeks, the team suffered a historic 6-0 defeat to arch-rival [[Fenerbahçe S.K.|Fenerbahçe]] on 6 November 2002.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2002-11-06 |title=Fener attı, Cimbom baktı: 6-0 |url=https://www.hurriyet.com.tr/fener-atti-cimbom-bakti-6-0-108028 |access-date=2023-12-26 |website=[[Hürriyet]] |language=tr}}</ref> In the same period, the team was also eliminated in the group stage of the [[UEFA Champions League]] after a disappointing performance.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Şampiyonlar Ligi 2002/2003, İddaa, Puan Durumu, Fikstür & Maç Sonuçları {{!}} Mackolik.com |url=https://www.mackolik.com/kupa/avrupa-%C5%9Fampiyonlar-ligi/2002-2003/4oogyu6o156iphvdvphwpck10 |access-date=2023-12-26 |website=Mackolik}}</ref> Although Galatasaray improved its performance under Terim later on, and had a winning streak in the league, it lost to [[Beşiktaş J.K.|Beşiktaş]] on 25 May 2003 with a last minute goal scored by [[Sergen Yalçın]] and lost the championship to Beşiktaş, coached by Lucescu.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-01-10 |title=1996'dan 2022'ye: Fatih Terim'in Galatasaray'daki dört dönemi |url=https://www.goal.com/tr/galeri-listesi/galatasaray-da-dorduncu-fatih-terim-donemi-sona-erdi-1996-dan-bu-yana-yasananlar/bltdad7e1cbef1ffecf |access-date=2023-12-26 |website=[[Goal (website)|Goal]] |language=tr}}</ref>

In the [[2003-04 Galatasaray S.K. season|2003-04 season]], while strengthening his squad with [[Hakan Şükür]], he mainly transferred Romanian players to the team. Galatasaray managed to qualify for the [[2003-04 UEFA Champions League group stage|Champions League groups]] again after passing the preliminary qualifiers. However, towards the end of the year, things started to go badly for the team. First, the team was eliminated in the Turkish Cup, losing 5-0 to [[Çaykur Rizespor]]. Then, [[Villarreal CF|Villarreal]] eliminated Galatasaray in the UEFA Cup third qualifying round by defeating them 3-0. Galatasaray dropped out of the championship race with consecutive point losses in the league and Fatih Terim resigned in March 2004, following a 2–1 loss at home to Çaykur Rizespor.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Galatasaray 1-2 Çaykur Rizespor 20 Mart 2004 2003-2004 Sezonu Süper Lig 26.

Roma|Roma]] tried to lure him back to Serie A, but he did not depart.

=== Turkey (second term) ===
In the summer of 2005, Terim became the manager of the Turkey national team for a second time, taking charge of their last three qualifying matches (held in September and October 2005)&nbsp;– against [[Denmark national football team|Denmark]], [[Ukraine national football team|Ukraine]] and [[Albania national football team|Albania]]&nbsp;– in [[2006 FIFA World Cup qualification – UEFA Group 2|UEFA qualifying Group 2]] of the [[2006 FIFA World Cup]]. Turkey finished second in the group and thus advanced to the two-leg play-off against [[Switzerland national football team|Switzerland]], who won the first leg 2–0 in [[Bern]]. Turkey won the second leg 4–2 in [[Istanbul]], but Switzerland advanced to the 2006 World Cup finals on the [[away goals rule]]. The return match in Istanbul was marked by controversial attempts to destabilize the Swiss team before the match. The final whistle was followed by violence, and Swiss defender [[Stéphane Grichting]] was seriously injured.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Fifield |first=Dominic |date=2008-06-10 |title=Hosts haunted by memories of Battle of Istanbul |url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2008/jun/11/switzerland.turkey |access-date=2025-02-05 |work=The Guardian |language=en-GB |issn=0261-3077}}</ref> Turkey national team was sanctioned by a fine and six official home matches behind closed doors and on neutral ground by the [[FIFA]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=swissinfo.ch |first=S.

Turkey started [[UEFA Euro 2008|Euro 2008]] by losing to [[Portugal national football team|Portugal]]. Against Switzerland, they were trailing at half-time but snatched a win two minutes into stoppage time. In the final group match, against the [[Czech national football team|Czech Republic]], Turkey reversed a two-goal deficit by scoring three goals in the final 15 minutes. Their evenly matched quarter-final clash with [[Croatia national football team|Croatia]] went to a penalty shootout, which Turkey won. Turkey lost to [[Germany national football team|Germany]] in the semi-finals. During their estimated 490 minutes of playing time in this tournament, Turkey only led for 13 minutes.

After the successful Euro 2008 campaign, Terim was recommended by former [[Newcastle United F.C.|Newcastle United]] manager [[Bobby Robson]] for the Newcastle position, but he was not appointed. Terim's contract was extended to 2012 at the conclusion of the tournament, despite heavy speculation that he might return to Italy or go to England to manage at club level.

In [[2010 FIFA World Cup qualification – UEFA Group 5|2010 World Cup UEFA qualifying, Group 5]], as of April 2009, Turkey had won two matches, drawn two and lost two, leaving them four points behind second-placed [[Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team|Bosnia and Herzegovina]]. This performance saw Turkey move up to tenth position in the [[FIFA World Rankings]]. On 11 October 2009, seeing that his country could no longer finish in the top two of Group 5, Terim announced his resignation. Turkey finished Group 5 in third position.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nzz.ch/nachrichten/sport/spengler-cup/sporttickerdepartment/urnnewsmlwwwsda-atsch20091011brz010_1.3845709.html |title=Fatih Terim hat genug – Lagerbeck vor Rücktritt |publisher=Nzz.ch |access-date=15 October 2012}}</ref>

=== Third term at Galatasaray ===
[[File:Fatih Terim G.Saray-Manisaspor.jpg|thumb|right|Terim with [[Galatasaray S.K. (football)|Galatasaray]] in 2011]]
Galatasaray failed to qualify for [[UEFA|European football]] in the 2010–11 season. After internal conflict among board members, and the poor performance of the team during the [[2010–11 Süper Lig|2010–11 Süper Lig season]], Galatasaray appointed a new chairman, [[Ünal Aysal]]. Aysal's first act was to appoint Terim, his first and only choice, as manager&nbsp;– his third time to manage Galatasaray.

Galatasaray finished the [[2011–12 Süper Lig|2011–12 Süper Lig season]] with 77 points, nine points ahead of rivals [[Fenerbahçe S.K. (football)|Fenerbahçe]]. The top four teams in the regular season – Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe, [[Trabzonspor]] and [[Beşiktaş J.K.|Beşiktaş]] – entered the Championship Group of the European play-offs. A new round-robin play-off format was introduced this season for the first time in the Süper Lig. In the last round of the play-offs, Galatasaray won its 18th title with a scoreless draw against Fenerbahçe at the [[Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium]]. It was one of Galatasaray's best seasons, marked by the good performances of young players such as [[Semih Kaya]] and [[Emre Çolak]].

In the third week of the [[2012–13 Süper Lig|2012–13 Süper Lig season]], Terim earned his 200th win as a Galatasaray coach against [[Bursaspor]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.galatasaray.org/futbol/superlig/haber/14292.php |title=Fatih Terim'in Galatasaray'daki 200.

(The first time was in 2002.)<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.galatasaray.org/kulup/haber/14312.php |title=Fatih Terim UEFA Elit Teknik Direktörler Forumu'na Katıldı – 05.09.2012 23:15 (KULÜP HABERLERİ) |publisher=/ Galatasaray.org |access-date=15 October 2012}}</ref> Galatasaray made a poor start to the [[2012–13 UEFA Champions League]] season, losing the first two group matches in [[2012–13 UEFA Champions League group stage#Group H|Group H]], but they won three of their last four group matches to advance to the [[2012–13 UEFA Champions League knockout phase|Round of 16]]. Galatasaray player [[Burak Yılmaz]] finished the group stages of the 2012–13 UEFA Champions League as top scorer, with 6 goals in 501 minutes, ahead of [[Cristiano Ronaldo]], who scored the same number of goals in 540 minutes.
During the winter transfer window Terim's Galatasaray transferred both [[Wesley Sneijder]] and [[Didier Drogba]] to strengthen the team towards the knockout phase of the Champions League.
In the [[2012–13 UEFA Champions League knockout phase#Round of 16|round of 16]], Galatasaray eliminated [[FC Schalke 04|Schalke 04]] 4–3 on aggregate. In the [[2012–13 UEFA Champions League knockout phase#Quarter-finals|quarter-finals]], they played [[Real Madrid C.F.|Real Madrid]]&nbsp;– their first official match since the [[2000-01 UEFA Champions League#Quarter-finals|2000–01 UEFA Champions League]]. Galatasaray lost 3–0 at [[Santiago Bernabéu Stadium|Santiago Bernabéu]], but won the second clash 3–2 in [[Ali Sami Yen Spor Kompleksi|Ali Sami Yen]] with a beautiful heel goal by Didier Drogba but eliminated from the European competition by losing on aggregate.
On 5 May 2013, Galatasaray secured its 19th title in the Süper Lig two weeks before the end of the season.<ref>{{cite web |title=Ve Şampiyon Galatasaray! |url=http://www2.galatasaray.org/futbol/superlig/haber/16889.php |publisher=galatasaray.org |language=tr |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130507183228/http://www2.galatasaray.org/futbol/superlig/haber/16889.php |archive-date=7 May 2013 }}</ref>

On 24 September 2013, Terim was relieved of his club duties after overseeing one win and three draws in four league matches in the [[2013–14 Süper Lig]] season, plus a 6–1 home defeat in the [[2013–14 UEFA Champions League group stage|2013–14 Champions League group stage]] opening match against Real Madrid. The club's decision to sack Terim was taken after Terim and the board members had held a two-hour meeting at the Türk Telekom Arena in the afternoon of 24 September, followed by a unanimous vote by the board. The club stated Terim had rejected an offer of a two-year extension on his current contract, which had been due to expire in June 2014. Terim was directing a training session at the club's facilities when the board's decision was publicised later that day. As the news filtered out, dozens of supporters reportedly assembled in front of the training facilities to protest the decision, calling on the board to resign.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/025a-0ea8daae1060-157420a8e65a-1000--terim-and-galatasaray-part-company/|title=Terim and Galatasaray part company|newspaper=[[UEFA]]|date=24 September 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/galatasaray-parts-ways-with-veteran-manager-fatih-terim.aspx?pageID=517&nID=55096&NewsCatID=362|title=Galatasaray parts ways with veteran manager Fatih Terim|newspaper= Hürriyet Daily News|date=24 September 2013}}</ref>

=== Turkey (third term) ===
[[File:AUT vs. TUR 2016-03-29 (178).jpg|thumb|100px|Terim coaching the Turkey national team in 2016]]
On 22 August 2013, Terim was appointed interim manager of Turkey, replacing [[Abdullah Avcı]], ahead of four critical [[2014 FIFA World Cup qualification – UEFA Group D|2014 World Cup UEFA Group D qualifying matches]]. Turkey won their next three qualifying matches (against [[Andorra national football team|Andorra]], [[Romania national football team|Romania]] and [[Estonia national football team|Estonia]]), but lost their last qualifying match against the [[Netherlands national football team|Netherlands]] 2–0 in Istanbul. Turkey finished Group D in fourth position and therefore did not qualify for the 2014 World Cup finals.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.turkish-football.com/news_read.php?id=5227|title=Fatih Terim in talks to take over as manager of Turkey|publisher=www.turkish-football.com|date=24 September 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130929013702/http://www.turkish-football.com/news_read.php?id=5227|archive-date=29 September 2013}}</ref>

After parting ways with Galatasaray, Terim decided to continue with the national team and took charge of Turkey in the [[UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying|UEFA Euro 2016 qualifiers]], in which the number of participating teams was increased. Turkey, who started the group matches very badly, had a chance to quality out of its group again by defeating [[Netherlands national football team|the Netherlands]] 3-0 at home on 6 September 2015. On 10 October 2015, Turkey beat the Czech Republic 2-0 away from home and three days later, in the match against Iceland, Turkey won the match 1-0 with a free kick goal scored by [[Selçuk İnan]] in the 89th minute and finished third in the group.

=== Fourth term at Galatasaray ===
On 22 December 2017, Terim was announced as manager of Galatasaray, replacing [[Igor Tudor]], on a contract that would have see him at the helm until the end of the 2018–19 season.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://in.reuters.com/article/soccer-turkey-gal-terim/soccer-terim-becomes-galatasaray-coach-for-fourth-time-idINKBN1EG0RR|title=Soccer: Terim becomes Galatasaray coach for fourth time|author=<!--staff writer-->|newspaper=Reuters|date=22 December 2017|access-date=22 December 2017|archive-date=13 December 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201213070024/https://in.reuters.com/article/soccer-turkey-gal-terim/soccer-terim-becomes-galatasaray-coach-for-fourth-time-idINKBN1EG0RR|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In the 2017–18 season, he became a seventh-time Turkish Süper Lig winner with Galatasaray.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.yeniakit.com.tr/haber/sampiyon-galatasaray-2017-2018-sezonu-sampiyonu-galatasaray-467927.html|title=Şampiyon Galatasaray! 2017-2018 sezonu şampiyonu Galatasaray|publisher=www.yeniakit.com.tr|language=tr|access-date=19 May 2018|date=12 August 2021}}</ref> On 19 May 2019, Galatasaray became the champion of 2018–19 Süper Lig season in week 33, one week beforehand the end of the season. Terim won his eighth title in total and second consecutive Süper Lig trophy with Galatasaray. On 25 May 2019, during the cup ceremony at [[Ali Sami Yen Spor Kompleksi|Ali Sami Yen]], Galatasaray president [[Mustafa Cengiz (businessman)|Mustafa Cengiz]] announced that the club agreed on a 2+3 years new deal with Terim.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.galatasaray.org/haber/gs-sportif-a-s/fatih-terimin-sozlesme-detaylari-kapa-bildirildi/44414|title=Fatih Terim'in sözleşme detayları KAP'a bildirildi|publisher=Galatasaray.org|language=tr|access-date=9 July 2019|date=8 July 2019}}</ref> He signed the new contract in front of 52,500 spectators.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.galatasaray.org/haber/kulup/fatih-terim-ile-5-yil-daha/44248|title=Fatih Terim ile 5 yıl daha|publisher=Galatasaray.org|language=tr|access-date=25 May 2019}}</ref> On 8 July 2019, Terim celebrated his 45th anniversary with Galatasaray.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.galatasaray.org/haber/futbol/iyi-ki-galatasarayli-olmusum/44420|title="İyi ki Galatasaraylı olmuşum"|publisher=Galatasaray.org|language=tr|access-date=9 July 2019|date=8 July 2019}}</ref> Galatasaray finished the 2020-21 season in second place, on goal difference and therefore did not become the champion for two consecutive seasons.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.sozcu.com.tr/spor/futbol/fatih-terimden-veda-sozleri-haklarini-helal-etsinler-6433398/|title=Fatih Terim'den veda sözleri… 'Haklarını helal etsinler'|publisher=www.sozcu.com.tr|language=tr|access-date=5 May 2021|date=5 May 2021}}</ref>

On 19 July 2021, the recently elected Galatasaray president [[Burak Elmas]] announced that they have signed a 3-year contract extension with Terim.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.sozcu.com.tr/spor/futbol/baskan-burak-elmas-duyurdu-fatih-terim-ile-3-yillik-sozlesme-6547153/|title=Başkan Burak Elmas duyurdu! Fatih Terim ile 3 yıllık sözleşme|publisher=www.sozcu.com.tr|language=tr|access-date=19 July 2021|date=19 July 2021}}</ref> This season was one of the toughest seasons for him at the club. Players such as [[Radamel Falcao|Falcao]] and [[Ryan Donk|Donk]] had left the club and Terim had decided to invest in young potential players such as [[Alexandru Cicâldău|Cicâldău]], [[Sacha Boey|Boey]], [[Victor Nelsson|Nelsson]] and [[Olimpiu Moruțan|Moruțan]]. However, early elimination from the Champions League (qualifying round) as well as many consecutive losses in Süper Lig (ended tenth by mid-season, 19 points behind the leader) caused lots of criticism of the coach by the fans and media. Galatasaray had ended the [[2021–22 UEFA Europa League group stage|UEFA Europa League group stage]] on top position and Terim achieved the one and only positive result so far this season by qualifying to the [[2021–22 UEFA Europa League knockout phase|round of 16]] directly. However, after elimination against [[TFF First League]] side [[Denizlispor]] in the [[Turkish Cup|cup]] and a new defeat against [[Giresunspor]] at beginning of the second half of the season, many fans started calling the coach to resignation.

On 10 January 2022, he was relieved from his contract after the poor results <ref>{{cite web |title=Kamuoyuna Duyuru |url=https://www.galatasaray.org/haber/kulup/kamuoyuna-duyuru/50159/ |publisher=Galatasaray S.K. |date=10 January 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Galatasaray, Fatih Terim ile yollarını ayırdı |url=https://www.sozcu.com.tr/spor/futbol/galatasaray-fatih-terim-ile-yollarini-ayirdi-6879114/ |publisher=sozcu.com.tr |date=10 January 2022}}</ref> and replaced by Spanish coach [[Domènec Torrent]].
On 13 January 2022, Terim shared a photo of his signature regarding the contract termination by the club via his personal social media account, mentioning that it was his last signature at Galatasaray.

=== Panathinaikos ===
On 26 December 2023, Terim signed a one-and-a-half-year contract with Greek club [[Panathinaikos F.C.|Panathinaikos]], replacing [[Ivan Jovanović (football manager)|Ivan Jovanović]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Panathinaikos, Fatih Terim'i açıkladı |url=https://www.ntv.com.tr/sporskor/panathinaikos-fatih-terimi-acikladi,GB7WNOraeEiFYXo6aJSffA |access-date=2023-12-26 |website=[[NTV (Turkey)|NTV]] |language=tr}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last= |title=Fatih Terim resmen Panathinaikos'ta! |url=https://www.haberturk.com/fatih-terim-resmen-panathinaikos-ta-3648648-spor |access-date=2023-12-26 |website=[[Habertürk]] |language=tr}}</ref> On 17 May 2024, Terim was relieved from his contract.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Panathinaikos'ta Fatih Terim dönemi sona erdi |url=https://www.ntv.com.tr/sporskor/panathinaikosta-fatih-terim-donemi-sona-erdi,a3CPsetcJUuSNWxMzudF6g |date=May 17, 2024 |website=[[NTV (Turkey)|NTV]] |language=tr}}</ref>
