There he was also unable to assert himself and returned to Germany. After half a year without football, he tried his luck with the amateur club SV Türk Gücü Munich . Then he moved to Turkey for the second time to the Turkish second division team Kuşadasıspor . There he was noticed by those responsible at Samsunspor , who then brought him to Samsun .

Only after his move to Beşiktaş , where he became a regular player, did his career start rolling. He finished the 2001/02 season as the top scorer . Mansız was appointed to the Turkish national team and played in the 2002 World Cup when he finished third in the tournament with Turkey and scored three important goals in the final round, including a golden goal in the quarter-finals against Senegal. His popularity in Europe, Asia and especially in Japan led him to the Japanese first division club Vissel Kobe . After a protracted injury that he sustained in June 2004, he moved to Bundesliga club Hertha BSC during the winter break of 2004/05 . Due to injury problems he was unable to gain a foothold here and left the Berlin club after the end of the season.

In July 2005, the 21-time national player signed a one-year contract with MKE Ankaragücü . The club finished 13th in the Turkish Süper Lig in the 2004/05 season . During this time he was hit by a car as a passer-by in Munich , causing an injury to his left leg. As a result, he had to temporarily end his career in summer 2006 because of knee problems.
