Coşkun Taş (born April 23, 1935 in Aydın ) is a former Turkish football player . The all-rounder, who has German citizenship, took part in the 1954 World Cup with the Turkish national team and is considered one of the first Turks in German top division football.

Career

Taş started playing football in his hometown at Aydınspor . From 1949 he played with a special permit in the men's team before he moved to Istanbul to study after graduating from high school in 1951. There he hired at Beşiktaş Istanbul and developed as a left defender to the national team in the following year. With the national selection, the 19-year-old, who had been converted into an offensive player, qualified after drawing lots - the decisive qualifying game against Spain ended in a draw after extra time and there was no penalty shoot-out at the time - for the World Cup tournament in Switzerland in 1954. There he only came in the second group game against the German National team , which ended in a 2-7 defeat and means early elimination, used.

At Beşiktaş Taş ran parallel to his studies until 1959 and won the Turkish championship twice . After completing his studies, he wanted to go to Germany because his father had lived in the country between 1913 and 1917 and worked as a draftsman. On his own initiative, he traveled to Cologne to audition for 1. FC Köln . The president of the club, Franz Kremer , decided to sign Taş, who was one of the first Turks to play in top German football and the first Turkish player to play for FC. In addition, at that time he was one of 18 Turks in all of Cologne, including the staff in the consulate.

In 1960 Taş moved with the team as West Champion in the 1960 championship finals , in which coach Oswald Pfau used him in all games. As the first in the group, they made it to the final of the German championship against Hamburger SV . In the 2: 3 defeat in the Frankfurt Waldstadion, however, he did not take part; It is rumored that Kremer only wanted German players to play in the final. In the following season, Taş lost his regular place as he concentrated on his professional career. He also decided to train as a trainer at the Cologne Sports University with Hennes Weisweiler . Therefore, he wanted to stay in the region and left the club in the direction of Bonn FV , where he played in the second division. In 1962, he accepted an offer from the Ford factory in Cologne to work in the sales planning department and, at the same time, to look after the operations team as a trainer . He later worked for SC Viktoria Köln .

Today Taş is still connected to football and works as an official and foreigner representative for the Mittelrhein Football Association. After living in Germany since 1959 and being married to a German, he has now also acquired German citizenship .
