How the career table was built
The spells come from the contract records on Fatih Terim’s TFF coaching profile: where a termination date exists it is used as the end date, and consecutive contracts in the same role at the same club with gaps shorter than 100 days are merged. Posts abroad or before 1990 that TFF does not hold were taken from Wikidata (P286 and P6087 qualifiers). Match and win counts are left empty because the sources in the Atlas register do not publish them per coach.
