Terim ready to quit Turkey

26 Jun 2008 - 07:21:12

Turkey coach Fatih Terim admitted he is highly likely to step down following his side's semi-final defeat to Germany.

Turkey were without nine members of their squad through suspension and injury but pushed the pre-tournament favourites all the way before losing to a last-gasp Philip Lahm winner.

After the narrow defeat in Basel, Terim revealed he was planning a return to club management in Europe.

He said: "Most probably after speaking to the federation president and the players, I will choose to say this is what I have done.

"I had declared earlier I would not be working in Turkey. I am a man who keeps my promises so I will most probably go back to a European country."

Meanwhile, the 54-year-old former Galatasaray and AC Milan coach revealed his pride in the performance of his players.

"I congratulate Germany for their win and wish them success for final, but I am proud of my players and think their will to play well and the technical support all came together and they were able to show the world what a good team they were," he added.

"We can say we were almost there, but that is part of football as well."
