Television footage showing the 63-year-old involved in a brawl has led to the coach's exit from his position

Fatih Terim has left his role as Turkey coach by mutual consent following his involvement in a brawl a fortnight ago.

Television footage showed 63-year-old Terim in an altercation with a restaurant owner in a west coast holiday town.

Reports in the Turkish media said Terim and his sons-in-law had injured five men in the incident.

"Some non-football issues have been wearing out our football director Fatih Terim and the management of the Turkish Football Federation (TFF)," the TFF said in a statement.
