Roshn Saudi League side Al Shabab announced the appointment of Fatih Terim as head coach, replacing Vitor Pereira.
Terim, 71, is largely considered the greatest manager Türkiye has produced having led Galatasaray to become the only Turkish club to win a UEFA competition when they defeated Arsenal to be crowned 2000 UEFA Cup champions.
Known for his high-tempo football and passionate approach to man-management, Terim led his country to their first-ever UEFA European Championship appearance at UEFA Euro 1996.
He took charge of Türkiye twice more at Euro 2008 and 2016, reaching an all-time best result of semi-finals in the former.
Terim also enjoyed management spells at Serie A sides Fiorentina and AC Milan, while most recently he has been in charge of Greek giants Panathinaikos.
Al Shabab had parted ways with Pereira earlier this month, who has since been appointed manager of Premier League outfit Wolves.
Meanwhile, Al Shabab currently sit sixth in the 2024-25 RSL table, five points off AFC Champions League Elite places, having lost only one of their past five matches.
The Turk faces a major challenge on his RSL debut, with Al Shabab taking on an in-form Al Ahli side featuring compatriot Merih Demiral, on January 10.
