Ali Kurtuluş Validiken (born August 27, 1965 in Istanbul ) is a former Turkish football player , coach, functional and expert. As a home grown man and through his many years of work for Beşiktaş Istanbul , he is very strongly associated with this club and is referred to by both club and fan sites as one of the most legendary players in the club's history. He was an integral part of the Beşiktaş team with whom the club won the Turkish Championship five times between 1985 and 1995 , including three consecutive seasons in 1989/90 , 1990/91 and 1991/92 , and so the Turkish football dominated. With his storm partners Feyyaz Uçar and Metin Tekin , he formed the Strumtrio known as Metin-Ali-Feyyaz, which stood for Beşiktaş's most successful epoch. Since Ali Günçar was another Ali in the team squad during his time at Beşiktaş Istanbul and he was younger, from then on, as usual in such a situation, Validiken was referred to as Büyük Ali (German: The Great Ali ) and Günçar as Küçük Ali ( German: Little Ali ). After some coaching and functionary activities, he began to work primarily as a football expert on television and in the print media.

Player career

society

Validiken began with the club football in the youth department of the Istanbul amateur club Bakırköy Yücespor and in 1982 moved to the youth department of Beşiktaş Istanbul . For the season 1984/85 he was taken up by the new head coach Branko Stanković in the professional squad and made his debut for the 1st team Beşiktaş 'on August 15, 1984 in the pre-season TSYD Istanbul Cup in the game against arch rivals Galatasaray Istanbul . His club won this cup and thus secured the first title of the 1984/85 season. In the further course of the season Validiken was used again and again by Stanković and completed 24 competitive appearances in his first season and scored one goal. With his club, he only secured the autumn championship and was then level on points behind arch rivals Fenerbahçe Istanbul and only because of the poorer goal difference, runner-up. In the course of the 1985/86 season Validiken rose to a regular player and became an important part of the team. His team fought head-to-head for the championship with Galatasaray on matchday 14. After the league leadership was briefly taken over in the 18th and 20th matchday, the club remained in second place behind Galatasaray until the 33rd matchday and replaced them on the 33rd matchday. The remaining game days Beşiktaş retained the lead over Galatasaray due to the better goal difference and ended the season as champions. This season, VALIKEN and Beşiktaş also won the President's Cup and the Navy Cup . Validiken was used in the first two seasons of Stanković rather in midfield and temporarily as a left-back. In the summer of 1986 Stanković left Beşiktaş and was replaced by his compatriot Miloš Milutinović . Under this coach, too, Gegiken kept his regular place and played again with his team for the Turkish championship. This season he and his team were behind Galatasaray and were runner-up behind them.

For the 1987/88 season Milutinović was replaced by the Englishman Gordon Milne , the coach under whom Beşiktaş had the most successful time in the club's history and VALIKEN should experience his final career breakthrough. Milne used Validiken in the storm and let him play for the first time in the Strum trio with Feyyaz Uçar and Metin Tekin . Validiken convinced in this new role immediately and scored 30 league goals by the end of the season and was second behind the top scorer Tanju Çolak on the top scorer list of the season. Together with his two attacking partners, he scored around 50 league goals and was thus one of the most successful offensive teams in the league. His team finished the league again behind Galatasaray as runners-up. This season, VALIKEN also rose to the Turkish national team. In the 1988/89 season he exchanged the storm positions with Feyyaz Uçar. While Gültekin played as a center forward last season, he started this season as a left winger, while Uçar played as a center forward from then on. After this season was concluded again with the runner-up, the team reached the hoped-for championship in the 1989/90 season. Validiken contributed 17 league goals and several assists to this success. I.a. his interaction with Uçar and Tekin was highlighted by the trade press and named as one of the most important reasons for the championship. With this constellation, the team secured the championship in the following two seasons and became the third club to be Turkish champions three times in a row after Galatasaray and Trabzonspor . This team also won the Turkish Cup in the 1989/90 season and thus secured the first Turkish double victory in the club's history. Since the Turkish Cup was also won in the 1988/89 season, the club also achieved the first title defense in the club's history in this competition by winning the cup in the 1989/90 season.

Validikens career took a dramatic turn with the league game on May 9, 1992 against arch rivals Galatasaray. In this crucial game, VALIKEN scored the equalizer in the 55th minute to make it 3: 3 for his team. In the 70th minute he injured himself so badly that he was replaced. His team won 4-3 and became champions for the third time in a row. Validiken's injury turned out to be more serious than initially thought. So recovery took almost a year. He took part in the league game on May 9, 1993 against Fenerbahçe exactly one year after his injury in the game again. Validiken never really recovered from this injury and was unable to match his old form. So he was pushed out of the regular formation by the new strikers such as Oktay Derelioğlu , Ertuğrul Sağlam , Sertan Eser and only came on as a supplementary player. Although he scored four goals in 15 league games in the 1994/95 season and contributed to the championship he won, he was put on the sales list by head coach Christoph Daum at the end of the season .

After he had recently been a reservist with Beşiktaş, he left Beşiktaş in the summer of 1995 and moved to league rivals Kayserispor . He played for this club for a season without being able to assert himself and ended his career at the end of the season at the age of 31.

National team

Validiken began his national team career in 1983 with an assignment for the Turkish U-18 national team. After a year and 14 more missions for the Turkish U-18s began to run for the Turkish U-21 national team from September 1984 . In addition to his work for the Turkish U-21s, from 1986, VALIKEN began to play for the Turkish Olympic team.

In October 1987, Mustafa Denizli nominated him for the first time for the squad of the Turkish national team as part of a qualifying match for the European Championship in 1988 against the English national team , and made his international debut in this encounter. This game was lost 8-0 and went down in the annals as one of the bitterest defeats in the association's history. By the summer of 1991 completed six more missions for the national team. His last full international match was in July 1991 in the game against the Faroese national team .

Trainer and functionary career

Validiken took over the second division Mersin İdman Yurdu in July 1999 as head coach and began his coaching career with this commitment. After just two matchdays he left this club again. After he had remained without activity until the second half of the 1999/00 season, he was introduced as a coach by Hatayspor and looked after this club until the end of the season.

From the spring of 2001 he began to work as assistant trainer to Rasim Kara and accompanied him during his stations at Erzurumspor and Yozgatspor . Later he began to work for Mustafa Denizli as an assistant trainer and together with him he was in charge of Manisaspor and the Iranian association Pas Tehran .

In the summer of 2006 he was hired as a new manager at his former club Beşiktaş Istanbul and was active in this role for one season. At the end of the season he resigned from his position. In the summer of 2009 he started working as a manager at Göztepe Izmir and stayed in this position until the second half of the 2011/12 season. He then resigned from his position at Göztepe.

Validiken, who had already worked as a football expert in TV and print media in the meantime as a coach and manager, began to work exclusively in this industry after his work at Göztepe.
