The Turkish football federation is trying to persuade Fatih Terim to stay on as the boss. The highly reputed manager had earlier said that he would step down and return to club football.
Fatih Terim has surely won many a football fans admiration because of the way he led the team from the front. The former Galatasaray and AC Milan coach took Turkey to the semifinals of the Euro 2008 in style, only to be defeated by the cup contenders Germany in the last minute.
Terim had declared that he would like to end his second spell with the national side and return to club football soon. The Turkish federation is hoping to convince Terim to stay until the 2010 World Cup.
The federation president, Hasan Dogan, said that Terim has to remain with the national side and lead them to the 2010 World Cup.
He said to the federation's official website,
"At this moment in time, Terim is at the helm of the national side and, God willing, he will be so until 2010."
