The Turks had not been expected to push Spain in the qualifiers but their inability to challenge Bosnia for second led to Terim's announcement this week that he would stand down after this match.
Fatih Terim's second reign as Turkey coach came to an end with a comfortable, if unspectacular, 2-0 victory over Group Five's basement side Armenia, despite being reduced to 10 men after Ceyhun Gulselam's first-half red card.
