Fuat Çapa (born August 15, 1968 in Afyonkarahisar , Turkey ) is a Belgian- Turkish football coach .

Coaching career

Fuat Çapa grew up in his homeland in Turkey and emigrated to Belgium in the 1990s. Here he began to train the KV Turnhout from the 2000/01 season . After working here for four years, he worked for Patro Maasmechelen , Heusden-Zolder , Geel and Hamme in the following years .

At the beginning of the 2007/08 season he got the offer to train the Turkish first division club Gençlerbirliği Ankara . He accepted the offer and henceforth trained Gençlerbirliği. After he was only able to collect four points in the first five competitive games, he was dismissed by the club management. He was then later replaced by Reinhard Stumpf .

After this first coaching experience in Turkey, he returned to his adopted home Belgium. After a short break, he joined the Dutch second division club MVV Maastricht . Here he worked until February 2010 and separated from the club by mutual agreement.

He remained without a coaching until October 2010 and then got a job with the Dutch second division club RBC Roosendaal . After he had coached the club until the end of the season, the club was no longer able to pay the salaries for financial reasons. So all employees were released.

Fuat Çapa remained without a coaching job until the winter break of the 2010/11 season. He used this time by observing larger clubs all over Europe. For the winter break of the 2010/11 season, he accepted an offer from the Turkish first division club Kasımpaşa Istanbul, which was threatened by relegation . Kasımpaşa was at this point in time with eight points, far behind in the last place in the table. Çapa could not prevent relegation at the end of the season, but he still collected 15 points with the club and for a long time retained the chance of achieving a non-relegation place. In addition, Çapa stood out for the modern football his team played. After the end of the season he got the offer to train the club in the second division. Çapa rejected the offer with thanks on the grounds that he wanted to train a first division team.

For the new season he got an offer from his former club Gençlerbirliği Ankara shortly before the start of the season, which he accepted. At this point, Gençlerbirliği was already being traded before the start of the season because of his supposedly weak squad as a sure relegation candidate. The club had only been suitable for the new season two months ago with the coach Giray Bulak . Bulak separated from the club a short time later on the grounds that the squad for the Süper Lig was not sufficient. Despite these imponderables, Çapa took over the club. He formed a powerful and modern team from the young and inexperienced squad and surprisingly took fifth place in the table at the winter break.

At the end of the 2012/13 season, Çapa Gençlerbirliği left. For the 2013/14 season he moved to promoted Kayseri Erciyesspor and was released there on December 20, 2013. In March 2014 Çapa took over the relegation-threatened first division club Medical Park Antalyaspor . With this club Çapa slipped further into the relegation region and ultimately missed relegation. At the end of the season he left then Antalyaspor.

In July 2015, Çapa became a coach at the Swiss second division club FC Wil . However, he was released the following October. He then took over the coaching position of the Turkish first division club Gençlerbirliği Ankara, but was dismissed after five hours in office.

For the 2016/17 season he was hired as the new head coach at the second division Boluspor . Here, despite major investments, he could not achieve the season goal of relegation and was dismissed as a result in October 2017. In the summer of 2018 he took over the second division team Eskişehirspor which he coached until September 2020. In February 2020 Fuat Çapa was appointed head coach for the second time after the 2010/11 season at the Turkish first division club Kasımpaşa Istanbul .
