Müjdat Yetkiner (born November 16, 1961 in Istanbul ) is a former Turkish football player and coach. Through his many years of work for Fenerbahçe Istanbul and as a home-grown man, he is very strongly associated with this club. Fan and club members regard him as one of the most important players in club history. He holds several club records. With 429 first division appearances for Fenerbahçe, he is the player with the most Süper Lig appearances in the club's history and the player with the seventh most appearances in the Süper Lig . In addition, with 16 seasons he is the player who has been with Fenerbahçe for the longest time.

When playing, he was called Miço by fans , a nickname of his first name Müjdat. He is often confused with an earlier Fenerbahçe legend, Müzdat Yetkiner . This is sometimes incorrectly written as Müjdat Yetkiner . Both players are neither related nor related by marriage. Known for his unconditional loyalty to Fenerbahçe, Yetkiner is also active in politics for the Justice and Recovery Party ( Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi ) led by Recep Tayyip Erdoğan .

Player career

Childhood and youth

Yetkiner was born in the Istanbul district of Beşiktaş to a football-loving family. Although the family lived in the Beşiktaş district, Yetkiner's father and older brother were supporters of Galatasaray Istanbul , while Yetkiner himself supported Fenerbahçe Istanbul . Yetkiner's mother was a supporter of the Beşiktaş Istanbul local club .

Yetkiner began playing football on the Istanbul football fields. Later he started at the Istanbul amateur sports club Altınmızrak Spor Kulübü with the club sport and was active here in addition to football in sports such as swimming , tennis , etc. Here he also played with Aykut Kocaman , another Fenerbahçe legend. At this club he caught the talent hunters of Fenerbahçes, so that the then club official Hüsnü Çil Yetkiner brought into the club's youth department.

society

In the first division season 1979/80 Fenerbahçe replaced the head coach Şükrü Ersoy by Ziya Şengül . This new coach carried out an overhaul in the team squad and, for this purpose, added some young players to the professional squad, including Yetkiner. Yetkiner made his professional debut in the league game on December 30, 1979 against Bursaspor . In this game he played from the beginning and for the full length of the game. With this game Yetkiner became a regular and played almost all of his team's remaining games. The season ended Yetkiner's team behind Trabzonspor as runner-up. This season, his team also won the Prime Minister's Cup , making Yetkiner his first club-level title. In his second season he was immediately accepted into the regular team by the new coach Friedel Rausch . Although his club experienced one of its most unsuccessful seasons to date and played against relegation, Yetkiner convinced over the entire season. He played almost all of his team's competitive games and was promoted to U-21 national team. Fenerbahçe played at the end of the season against relegation and achieved relegation level on points to the last relegated only because of the better goal difference. After this disappointing season from the club's point of view, a revision was carried out in the squad under the direction of Rausch and several seasoned players were given up. In addition to new purchases, the younger players were also integrated into the team. Yetkiner stood out as one of the top performers. The revision had an effect and so Fenerbahçe played again for the championship. After Rausch left the club after the 23rd match day, Enver Katip took over the team on an interim basis until the end of the season and finished the league in 3rd place in the table. Yetkiner again played almost all of his team's competitive games. For the 1982/83 season , Fenerbahçe hired the Yugoslav Branko Stanković as the new head coach. Under this coach, the team increased their previous year's performance. In the Turkish championship they prevailed against their worst rival Trabzonspor and won this trophy again after five years. In addition, the team won the Turkish Cup this season, making it a Turkish double winner for the third time in the club's history . Yetkiner scored a goal in the first game of this championship season and saw a red card. After a brief suspension, he returned to the team and played almost all of his team's games. In the next season, Yetkiner's team awarded the championship and the trophy to Trabzonspor again. In the 1984/85 season Fenerbahçe won the Turkish championship again. Over the entire season, the team fought with Beşiktaş for the championship lead. On the third to last game day Yetkiner's team met their direct championship rivals away from home. Both teams went into this encounter tied. He scored a goal in the 2-2 draw and was instrumental in ensuring that his team kept the points equal. At the end of the season, Fenerbahçe ended the season tied to Beşiktaş due to the better goal difference as champions. In addition, they won the President's Cup this season and the Navy Cup for the third time in a row . With 46 competitive appearances, Yetkiner became the player with the most appearances for Fenerbahçe this season. He experienced the most successful period of his career and established himself as a regular player in the Turkish national team . In the summer of 1985, long-time team captain Cem Pamiroğlu also handed over the team leader's ribbon to Yetkiner.

Over the next three years, Yetkiner experienced several difficult situations. In the following two seasons Yetkiner's team had no chance in the championship. In the two-point rule valid at that time , one occupied table positions that showed a point difference of far more than 14 points to the respective champions. In these seasons, the club also missed qualifying for the European cup competitions. After it became apparent in the 1986/87 season that Fenerbahçe would not qualify for any European cup competition via the league placement, the team focused on the Turkish Cup competition. Here the team met in the quarter-finals against the then strong Samsunspor club . This club had won the last three games against Fenerbahçe and in two of these games Fenerbahçe with 0: 4 inflicted two of the bitterest defeats in the club's history. In the first game of the cup quarter-finals, Yetkiner's team Samsunspor lost 1-0 away. As a result, the club risked qualifying for the European cup competitions on the one hand and experienced the fourth defeat in a row against Samsunspor. Under these tense circumstances, both teams delivered a thrilling game in the second leg, which was played in front of a home crowd on April 1, 1987. Fenerbahçe missed several high profile chances and missed a penalty. The game ended 0-0, which means that Samsunspor qualified for the semi-finals due to the first leg win. Immediately after the final whistle, Yetkiner went to the changing room. Here he was greeted by a security guard with the words: "What kind of an honorable man are you? While your teammates are involved in a scuffle on the field, you crawl into the changing room". After these words, Yetkiner stormed onto the field in an act of affect and actively participated in the scuffle. The goalkeeper of Samsunspor, Fatih Uraz , had been too carefree and happy about the semi-finals that he caused the resentment of some Fenerbahçe players. This circumstance caused tumultuous situations on the field, in which Yetkiner took part. As a result, Yetkiner and other teammates such as Abdülkerim Durmaz , Sedat Karaoğlu and Hasan Özdemir were suspended from the national football association for three and four months respectively. On top of that, Yetkiner received a fine from his club and played a season with no pay. Since no large amounts of money were paid in Turkish football at the time and the promised salaries were sometimes paid with great delay, Yetkiner, who owned a taxi license and a taxi, drove a taxi during this time and tried to bridge this difficult time at least from a financial point of view. Yetkiner lost his armband to Şenol Çorlu after these developments . His suspension was reduced before the start of the season, so that he was available to the team again at the beginning of the next season. After the club had no chance in the championship in the 1987/88 season and arch-rival Galatasaray was champions with a large point difference of 35 points to Fenerbahçe, the then club president Tahsin Kaya Yetkiner had an audition with him. When asked why the team remained so unsuccessful, Yetkiner said Kaya's poor transfer policy. This led to Kaya suspending Yetkiner from the team roster.

For the new season, Todor Veselinović, the master coach of the season 1984/85 was committed. This coach took Yetkiner back into the team. In addition, the club signed an international star with the German goalkeeper Toni Schumacher . Furthermore, the club's management continued to invest in the team and signed Şenol Ustaömer , Oğuz Çetin , Aykut Kocaman , Turhan Sofuoğlu , Hasan Vezir , Hakan Tecimer and Orhan Kapucu stars and important youngsters of the time. With this team Fenerbahçe played an outstanding season. The season ended with ten points ahead of runner-up Galatasaray. In addition, the team scored 103 goals over the entire season, setting a new goal record in the Süper Lig . This team went into the club annals as the championship team with 103 goals . Yetkiner was one of the players with the most appearances of his team this season with 44 appearances. After this successful season, Fenerbahçe remained the next five seasons without any significant success. Neither in the championship nor in the Turkish Cup succeeded in winning the title. The only bright spots were the Prime Minister's Cup in the 1992/93 season and the TSYD Istanbul Cup in the 1994/95 season . Yetkiner was predicted the end of his career or his regular place before each season, but despite increasing competition he managed to fight for a regular place again and again. After the team captain Rıdvan Dilmen had almost completely failed in the 1992/93 season, Yetkiner took over the captaincy again on an interim basis.

In the summer of 1995 he ended his playing career in a farewell game in which Fenerbahçe met the first division side Kocaelispor .

National team

Yetkiner's national team career began after he moved to the junior division of Fenerbahçe Istanbul . Here he was noticed by those responsible for the Turkish U-18 national team, who nominated him for the upcoming Balkan youth games. In this tournament Yetkiner made his general international debut against the U-18s of Greece. After this debut, Yetkiner played five more times for the Turkish U-18 selection.

In December 1980 he was nominated for the first time in the squad of the Turkish U-21 national team and played in the game against the Czechoslovak U-21 national team for the first time for the U-21 of his country. By 1983 he completed nine more U-21 missions.

In 1983 he was appointed three times to the squad of the Turkish national team by the incumbent national coach Coşkun Özarı . Yetkiner only sat on the bench in all three international matches. In January 1984 he was nominated again by Özarı and made his international debut in a friendly against the Egyptian national team . Yetkiner was regularly nominated for the national team until 1989, but played his last international match in 1987 against the GDR . He was one of the players who stood on the field in two of the bitterest defeats for the Turkish national team. On November 14, 1984, the team lost in the qualifying game for the 1986 World Cup in front of their home crowd against the English national team with 8-0. The team lost to England in the second leg, this time 5-0.

Coaching career

Half a year after the end of his career, he started his coaching career by starting to work as an assistant coach for the Istanbul club Tepecik Belediyespor in January . He then worked at Eyüpspor as a junior coach . In the summer of 1998 he took over Çorluspor as head coach and worked in this position for the first time. He resigned from this office after about six weeks. From autumn 1998 he worked for Eyüpspor again as a junior coach for a while.
