Managerial career
On 3 June 2009, Tugay began working with his former manager
On 21 October 2010, Galatasaray SK announced that Tugay was assigned for the position of the new assistant coach for Galatasaray, alongside of Gheorghe Hagi.[17] On 22 March 2011, Hagi was sacked following a string of poor results.[18][19] Tugay refused to become the head coach until the end of the season, saying it would be wrong to accept the position for the head coach right after the sacking of Hagi.
On 4 October 2013, Galatasaray SK announced that Tugay was assigned again for the position of the new assistant coach for Galatasaray, this time alongside of Roberto Mancini.[20] However, after Mancini's dismissal at the end of the 2013–14 season, he left his position.[21]
In November 2015 he took over the Turkish second division club Şanlıurfaspor and worked as head coach for the first time.[22] In April 2016 he left the club by mutual agreement following a lack of success.
