The body of Hatayspor sporting director Taner Savut was recovered on Tuesday under the rubble that emerged from the 7.8 magnitude earthquake which hit Turkey and Syria on February 6.
More than 47,000 people have reportedly died in the disaster.
Savut’s body was found close to where Ghanaian footballer Christian Atsu, of the same club, was discovered dead last week.
“We feel the deep sorrow of losing our Sporting Director Taner Savut,” Turkish side Hatayspor said on Twitter on Tuesday. “We will not forget you teacher Taner. Rest in heaven. You are always in our hearts.”
The Turkish Football Federation and top teams like Galatasaray and Fenerbache have issued messages of condolences in Savut’s memory
