Ertuğrul Sağlam (born November 19, 1969 in Zonguldak) is a Turkish football coach and former player. He is currently the manager of Turkish side Beşiktaş J.K., and was recently voted one of the top 20 most promising coaches by respected football magazine Champions.^[1]

As a player he scored 11 goals in 26 caps for Turkey, and was selected for the Euro 1996 squad. He played for Fenerbahçe PAF, Gaziantepspor, Samsunspor and Beşiktaş J.K. between 1990 and 2003. When he was transferred from Samsunspor to Beşiktaş, he had been the biggest signing of all time. For the transfer, his former club was paid 70 Billion TL, equivalent to around 3 Million Dollars, at 1994. For the time being, that amount of money was unprecedented in Turkish Football history. He played as an offensive midfielder and as a striker before joining Beşiktaş. But John Toshack used Ertuğrul as a central defender. He was quite successful in that position too. After he was traded in exchange with defender Erman Güraçar from Samsunspor, he could not stop his tears at the airport.^{[citation needed]} In his six years in Besiktas, he scored 103 goals in 167 games.

Sağlam had released some personal objectives. He wants to coach one of the big three clubs of Istanbul, he wants to work in Europe as a coach and finally one day he wants to become the coach of the Turkish national team.^[2]
