Fatih Terim agrees new Turkey deal

Terim signs new Turkey deal

Fatih Terim has agreed to a new deal which will see him remain in charge of Turkey until 2020.

The coach is in his third spell with the national team after taking over from Abdullah Avci earlier this year.

"We've agreed a seven-year deal with our coach," the Turkish Football Federation president Yildirim Demiroren said.

"We want to be a permanent fixture at every tournament. To do this we thought we better get Fatih Terim. It was easy to convince him."

Turkey are in action against Northern Ireland tonight and you can follow the live coverage here.
