Fatih Terim

Galatasaray beat Fenerbahçe 3-1 in a Turkish Süper Lig game on Feb. 23, ending its 20-year jinx at Kadıköy and pushing its archrival further down the standings.

Max Kruse put Fenerbahce in front of a penalty kick that was confirmed by VAR, but Dutch defender Ryan Donk equalized for defending league champion Galatasaray in the 39th minute off a header in the box from a corner.

It has been more than 20 years since Galatasaray last saw a derby victory at archrivals Fenerbahçe's stadium.

It ended on Feb. 23 night, Galatasaray won 3-1 after an eventful derby in Turkish Super Lig.

At Fenerbahçe's stadium, Ulker, Fenerbahçe managed to evade Galatasaray's strong start to the match, eventually finding the leading goal after a penalty decision.

Galatasaray has agreed to a new contract with coach Fatih Terim, extending his tenure with the current league champion for another five years.

Galatasaray won the Turkish Super League title for the 21st time after a tense end to the season on May 19.

Turkish Super League club Galatasaray said it had begun talks with Fatih Terim on him becoming the team’s coach for what would be the fourth time, after the club parted ways with Croatian Igor Tudor on Dec. 18.

The Turkish national team capitulated 2-0 to Ukraine late on Sept. 2, in a 2018 FIFA World Cup Qualifier Group I match, weakening its chances to make it to the world's most prestigious international tournament. 

Turkish national football team, under a new coach amid debate over the squad selection, visits Ukraine on Sept. 2 to keep its slim chances of advancing to the 2018 World Cup alive.

Romanian coach Mircea Lucescu took helm of the national team following Fatih Terim's departure last month, and his player choices have been the top subject heading to his debut match.

Turkey and Barcelona midfielder Arda Turan on Aug. 11 said he was ready to return to national team duty, two months after announcing his retirement from international football following a bust-up with former coach Fatih Terim.

Turan, Turkey's captain, had in June been thrown out of a training camp by Terim following a fracas with a reporter on a plane.

Romanian coach Mircea Lucescu took over as the Turkish national team head coach on Aug. 2, three days after Fatih Terim's departure. 

He is expected to meet with Turkish Football Federation (TFF) head Yıldırım Demirören in Istanbul.  

Lucesu was previously appointed as the coach of Galatasaray in 2000 and Beşiktaş in 2002. 

Beşiktaş has rejected a proposal by the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) for the team's coach to manage the national team for the four remaining matches of the 2018 World Cup qualification.
