Ali Çoban (born October 1, 1955 in Tekirdağ , † May 28, 2014 in Istanbul ) was a Turkish football player and coach . Although he also worked for arch rival Beşiktaş Istanbul , he is mainly associated with Galatasaray Istanbul .

Player career

society

Çoban was born in the western Turkish city of Tekirdağ in 1955, but moved with his family to Istanbul at a young age. With the club football he started here in the youth of his district sports club Ortaköyspor . In the early 1970s, the then second division Bandırmaspor committed him , which Çoban started his professional career here. Through his work at Bandırmaspor he was noticed by those responsible for the Turkish U-18 national teams, who regularly nominated him in 1973 and 1974.

In the summer of 1974 Çoban moved to Gaziantepspor within the 2nd Futbol Ligi . At this club he stayed only one season and then moved on to the first division club Zonguldakspor . Through his activity at Zonguldakspor, he also fell on the Istanbul clubs, of which Beşiktaş Istanbul reacted the fastest and committed the defensive talent for the 1976/77 season. Here he was used by head coach Gündüz Tekin Onay in 35 competitive games. His team had no chance in the league and finished them in 4th place in the table. This season, Çoban's team also reached the final of the Turkish Football Cup , but lost the final against Trabzonspor, which was then dominating Turkish football . The Prime Minister's Cup was the only title that could be won this season . The club started the new season with Recep Adanır as head coach. Under this coach Çoban finally rose to become a regular player and completed all of his team's league games. The club ended the season far behind on the 5th place in the table and remained in the other competitions without a title. The next two seasons Beşiktaş fell further back in the championship than before and even played for relegation in the 1979/80 season. This circumstance ensured that a restless mood began to prevail within the club and the club management announced a squad revision at the end of the season. At the end of the season, Çoban was dissatisfied with Beşiktaş's salary offer and asked for his sale.

After these developments, the first division side Adanaspor offered Çoban Beşiktaş a transfer fee of 4 million Turkish Lira . So Çoban moved to Adanaspor for the coming season. The decisive factor in this change was the fact that Adanaspor was coached by Gündüz Tekin Onay, the coach who had brought Çoban to Beşiktaş. Immediately after the start of the season, Galatasaray Istanbul also expressed interest in Çoban and tried to sign him. So he was loaned for the rest of the season at the request of the Galatasaray coach Brian Birch . He played with his club for a long time for the championship, but fell from the top of the table towards the end of the season and ended the season in 3rd place. Çoban knew how to convince at Galatasaray and made sure that his actual employer Adanaspor demanded a transfer fee of 4.5 million lira. After long transfer negotiations, the Istanbul team paid a transfer fee of 2.5 million lira. In the next season Çoban completed 27 of the 30 possible league games. His club experienced one of the most difficult times in its history and was faced with relegation until the end of the season. His team won the Turkish Football Cup and TSYD Cup this season and was able to record two titles. In addition, his team won the Devlet Başkanlığı Cup . The next two seasons Galatasaray played again at the top of the table and was third in the table twice.

Although Çoban was the undisputed regular player at Galatasaray in the 1983/84 season and was counted as a service provider, he left this club and moved to league rivals Kocaelispor . In retrospect, Galatasaray President Ali Uras complained about the sale of Çoban. For Kocaelispor Çoban only played one season and then moved on to Istanbul first division side Sarıyer GK . At this club he immediately established himself as a regular player. His club finished the 1985/86 season in fourth place and achieved the best first division placement in the club's history. Çoban played another season with Sarıyer and made it back to the Turkish national team through his performances.

In the summer of 1987 he left Sarıyer and moved within the league to promoted Karşıyaka SK . There he was elected team captain and in this function led the club to 7th place in the table, the second-best first division placement in the club's history. Due to an injury he contracted on September 17, 1988 against Eskişehirspor , Çoban had to end his career.

National team

Çoban began his national team career with a commitment for the U-18 national team. By 1974 he had completed eleven U-18 games.

After moving to Beşiktaş Istanbul , Çoban also began playing for the Turkish U-21 national team. In some of these U-21 international appearances, he was over 21 years old.

Çoban was nominated in his last season at Beşiktaş by coach Metin Türel in the squad of the Turkish national team and made his international debut on March 22, 1978 in a game of the Balkan Cup against the Romanian national team . After this first international game, Çoban was nominated a month later and received no international appointment for the next six years. It was not until March 1984 that the new national coach Coşkun Özarı considered him again. From then on he was one of the regularly nominated national players for about a year. In 1987 he began to be nominated again for the senior national team.

He was one of the players who were in the squad in one of the bitterest defeats of the Turkish national team. On October 14, 1987, the team lost in the EM1988 qualifying game away against the English national team with 0: 8.

Coaching career

The time between the end of his career and the mid-2000s is largely unknown. From the summer of 2006 Çoban began to look after the Istanbul club Pendikspor as head coach. In 2009 he took over another Istanbul club, Gaziosmanpaşaspor . In 2011 he coached Ortaköyspor, the club where he started club football.

death

On May 28, 2014 Çoban died in an Istanbul hospital as a result of a long-term illness. It was the next day, after the noon prayers in the Ortaköy Mosque on the Ortaköy Cemetery buried.
