As many as three times, 71-year-old Fatih Terim has been the national team manager for the Turkish national football team. He has gone back and forth between being the national team manager and managing Turkey’s biggest club Galatasaray, which he has managed four times.
As a player, Fatih Terim started in Adama Demospor before he was picked up by Glatasaray, who he captained and played for for 11 years.
Fatih Terim left as manager in 2022 (from Galatasaray) and has since lived life as a retiree and guest on various TV shows in Turkey. – In addition, he has been involved in environmental issues on behalf of the oil industry.
Fatih Terim has been offered the opportunity to become the new manager of Al-Shabab in Saudi Arabia on a short-term very lucrative contract.
Terim has been offered a contract until June 2025 with an option to extend for another season. – The exact sum has not been revealed, but it is said to be without a doubt the highest paid job Fatih Terim has ever had.
And just to say it, football in Saudi Arabia is far from stressful and can easily be combined with a retirement. Remember selfies are more important than the football itself!
Proof! – Neymar gets €200,000 every time he posts a picture related to the club he plays for in Saudi Arabia!. (Don’t remember which one)
