Turkey national team coach Fatih Terim facing police probe after ‘leading gang who wrecked kebab house’
Turkey national boss Fatih Terim is facing a police probe after allegedly leading a gang that wrecked a kebab house.
Veteran coach Terim has managed his national side for 11 years across three spells.

The former Fiorentina, AC Milan and Galatasaray boss has repeatedly come up against England and Premier League sides.
But the 63-year-old is now in hot water after he and his bodyguards reportedly left five men injured as they trashed a restaurant last week.
Terim’s son-in-law Ahmet Baran Cetin owns the Beeves Steakhouse in the Turkish beach resort Alacati.
It has repeatedly clashed with the neighbouring Yuzevler restaurant over a partition wall.
The kebab diner is owned by Selahattin Aydogdu, the former president of Adana Demirspor football club and a Turkish FA director.
Adana-born Terim came through Demirspor’s youth ranks and spent five years in their first team before joining Galatasaray in 1974.

Terim is understood to have driven 200 miles from his Bodrum home together with a posse of minders following an angry phone exchange with Aydogdu last Friday.
Reports in Istanbul claim chairs and punches were thrown in a late-night brawl that left Aydogdu and four of his staff needing hospital treatment.
Restaurant worker Abdurrahim Baysal said: “I was cleaning the oven after midnight when I heard shouting.
