After going through the youth teams of SV Waldhof Mannheim , Kocak was awarded by coach Uwe Rapolder to the Austrian second division club DSV Leoben . After his return, he played 15 games in the 2nd Bundesliga the following season . Since SV Waldhof had to file for bankruptcy, Kocak moved to Austria again.

After two seasons in Reutlingen, he went back to SV Waldhof, where he tore his second cruciate ligament . As a result, Kocak had to end his career in 2007 due to sports disability.

Coaching career

In the 2008/09 season, Kocak held the position of team manager at SV Waldhof. He completed his first coaching position at FC Türkspor Mannheim before becoming the coach of VfR Mannheim . There he made the promotion to the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg. For the 2013/14 season , Kocak moved back to SV Waldhof as a coach.

During the 2015/2016 season , Kocak successfully completed his training as a football teacher at the Hennes-Weisweiler Academy in Hennef . In the same season, Kocak was with SV Waldhof champion of the Regionalliga Südwest. The title win was followed by two relegation games for promotion to the 3rd soccer league . Against the champions of the Regionalliga West , Sportfreunde Lotte , Kocak's team had to admit defeat after a 2-0 defeat in the second leg in front of a home crowd.

On July 3, 2016, Kocak was presented as the new coach of the second division club SV Sandhausen - he succeeded Alois Schwartz , who had switched to 1. FC Nürnberg . On October 8, 2018, Kocak was released.

On November 15, 2019, Kocak took over the second division team of the relegated Hannover 96 , which after the 13th matchday was in 15th place with 14 points, as the successor to Mirko Slomka .
