Player career

society

Akyüz went through the youth department of the Istanbul club Kartalspor and was included in the professional squad for the 1990/91 season with a professional contract. In his first season he completed 19 league games and remained goalless. With the 1991/92 season he won a regular place at Kartalspor and scored nine goals in 32 league games. In the 1992/93 season Akyüz achieved the hoped-for breakthrough at Kartalspor. So he aimed in the first half of the league, in which the clubs tried to qualify for a promotion round in five qualifying rounds until the winter break, eleven goals and thus became the top scorer in qualification group 1. Since his club, however, qualified for the promotion round due to a Missed direct comparison with Sakaryaspor , Akyüz was loaned to league and city rivals Zeytinburnuspor for the rest of the season . This club qualified in contrast to Kartalspor for the promotion round of the second division season 1992/93 . With his club he finished the season as runner-up and rose to the 1st Lig . Akyüz contributed seven goals to this success in the promotion round and was together with Hüseyin Sarıçan behind his teammate Burhan Baygın the second most successful goalscorer of his team. With a total of 17 league goals Akyüz was also third in the total goalscorer list of the 2nd Turkish league.

After this successful season, Akyüz was hired by the traditional club Trabzonspor in the summer of 1993 , the most successful club in Akyüz's hometown. Although the three big Istanbul clubs were also interested in Akyüz, Akyüz preferred his home club Trabzonspor. Since then with Hami Mandıralı , Orhan Kaynak , Orhan Çıkırıkçı , Schota Arweladze , Artschil Arweladze , Ünal Karaman , Soner Boz there were several established strikers and offensive players in the squad of Trabzonspor, Akyüz had to deal with strong competition. Nevertheless, he was kept in the squad by then head coach Georges Leekens and used in two league games in two months. After Leekens was replaced by Şenol Güneş after four matchdays , Akyüz did not play any further competitive appearances and was put on the list of dispensable players by Güneş a few matchdays later.

After Akyüz was last put on the sales list at Trabzonspor, he moved to the second division İstanbulspor in October 1993 for a large transfer fee . This club was bought by the billionaire Cem Uzan at that time and then tried to move up to the first league by buying stars and talents and then to create a powerful competition to the three big Istanbul clubs Galatasaray Istanbul , Fenerbahçe Istanbul and Beşiktaş Istanbul . In this context Akyüz was also bought as a promising talent at the time. At his new club he was taken up by coach Adnan Dinçer and then by his successor Ali Kemal Denizci in the starting eleven. Although Tanju Çolak was the most successful goalscorer in Turkish football to date in the team squad and there were other important and seasoned strikers in the squad with the players Feyzullah Küçük , Abdullah Avcı and Hamdi Demirtaş , Akyüz was the most successful goalscorer of his team with 17 season leagues. With his team he reached the play-off final of the league, but the team lost here to Antalyaspor 2: 3 and missed the last chance for promotion. For the 1994/95 season Akyüz 'club committed the coach Kadri Aytaç, who is known as a promotion specialist . He formed the team according to his ideas and put Akyüz together with Hamdi Demirtaş and Abdullah Avcı in the storm. Under these constellations, the season ended as runner-up and rose again after 23 years in the 1st league . Akyüz was involved in this success with 24 league goals and was again the most successful goalscorer of his team. The promotion coach Aytaç was promoted to the first division and was replaced by Leo Beenhakker and internationally known stars such as Peter van Vossen , Oleg Salenko and John van den Brom were signed up . Even under this coach and despite this great competition, Akyüz prevailed as a regular player and was one of the team's most important performers with 32 league games. He played for Istanbulspor for the next four years and was one of the most important performers during this time. With his team he finished the 1997/98 season in 4th place in the table and was thus involved in the best first division placement of his club.

After Akyüz had also spent the 1998/99 season at Istanbulspor, he was handed over to city rivals Galatasaray Istanbul in the summer of 1999 . Since the two strikers Hakan Şükür and Arif Erdem were unchallenged at this club and they were supplemented by the Brazilian Márcio Mixirica , Akyüz only played in nine league games until the winter break and could not distinguish himself in these encounters. So he was loaned for the second half of the season to league rivals MKE Ankaragücü . With this club he was able to win the TSYD Istanbul Cup , which was held pre-seasonally . At the end of the season he returned to Galatasaray, but was not taken into account by the new head coach Mircea Lucescu in the team planning. Akyüz was in the team until September 2000 and was part of the team that won the UEFA Super Cup of the 2000 season. In September Akyüz was loaned to Kocaelispor and for the second half of the same season at Çaykur Rizespor .

In the summer of 2001 Akyüz left Galatasaray after two seasons and moved to the southern Turkish league rivals Antalyaspor . After just one season he changed employers again and was hired by league rivals Diyarbakırspor . For this club he played for the next one and a half seasons, scoring eleven goals in 41 league games. For the second half of the 2003/04 season he moved to Çaykur Rizespor. He also left this club at the end of the season and then moved on to the first division club BB Ankaraspor . After a season he returned to Rizespor and played here the first half of the 2005/06 season.

For the second half of the season he moved to the second division Altay Izmir and ended his career with this club in the summer of 2006.

National team

After Akyüz had performed consistently well for a long time at his club İstanbulspor , he was nominated in February 1995 by national coach Fatih Terim as part of a friendly against the Romanian national team in the squad of the Turkish national team . In this encounter he was substituted in for Abdullah Ercan in the 75th minute , making his international debut . By the autumn of 1999 he was nominated eleven more times and completed seven more international matches.
