Suat İsmail Mamat (born November 8, 1930 in Istanbul ; † February 3, 2016 there ) was a Turkish football player and coach. Through his many years of work for Galatasaray Istanbul , he is strongly associated with this association. On the fan and club side, he is seen as one of the most important players in club history. Mamat was one of the first footballers in Turkey to score spectacular goals with an overhead kick. He was also known because of his good athleticism for handsome headers. In the 1950s, several newspapers published two soccer posters showing Mamat once during a fallback and once during a flying header . These two posters adorned the walls of many kıraathanes (tea houses) until the early 1980s. Due to his athletic skills, he became famous as Artist Suat during his playing days .

Player career

society

Mamat started playing football on the street and then played at Bakırköy Sümerspor . In 1949 he moved from here to the capital to the then top club Ankara Demirspor . The fact that Suat Mamats' older brother, Nevzat Mamat , was a goalkeeper at this club was also decisive for this change . Suat Mamat played for Demirspor for three seasons and then moved to Galatasaray Istanbul in the summer of 1952 . This change was ridiculed by the press as a wrong purchase, because at that time an ideal footballer of strong stature had to be for the specialist press. In addition, physical football was played at the time. Mamat was tall for the time with his 182 cm height, but had a slim build. Mamat himself had strengthened his body through targeted strength training the years before. At Galatasaray, contrary to the expectations of the trade press, he impressed right away. With his teammates İsfendiyar Açıksöz , Metin Oktay , Kadri Aytaç and Güngör Okay , he provided the offensive division of Galatasaray, which is now legendary. This offensive fiver dominated football in Turkey in the 1950s and was instrumental in the three championships of the İstanbul Futbol Ligi .

In the summer of 1959, Mamat expressed a desire to leave Galatasaray. Galatasaray then offered him the opportunity to move abroad if he could find someone interested. The top Italian club Lazio Rome showed interest and invited him to a trial session. Mamat took part in the trial training, but was initially unable to agree on the contractual terms with Lazio. Nevertheless, he already negotiated his transfer with Galatasaray and bought himself free. After the move to Lazio failed due to differences, he decided to negotiate with other clubs in Spain, including Valencia CF and Atlético Madrid . When he arrived in Spain, he took part in a trial session at FC Barcelona , but also negotiated with FC Valencia and Betis Sevilla at the same time . Mamat had scored the decisive goal in favor of Turkey during the qualification for the soccer world championship 1954 in the decisive game between the Turkish national team and the Spanish national team and was thereby known in Spain. Mamat's move abroad failed, however, so he returned to Turkey and extended with Galatasaray.

From the summer of 1959 he took part with Galatasaray in the newly founded and nationwide Süper Lig . In the seasons 1961/62 and 1962/63 the Turkish championship could be won. During the period leading up to summer, Mamat kept complaining about the low salary he received from Galatasaray. Several times he indicated his intention to change if his salary did not increase. He followed his words with deeds and moved to league rivals Beşiktaş Istanbul after winning the championship in the summer of 1953 . With this club he played four seasons and won the Turkish championship again in the seasons 1965/66 and 1966/67 .

For the 1967/68 season he moved to another Istanbul club, Vefa Istanbul . Here he played two more seasons and ended his active professional football career in the summer of 1969.

National team

Mamat was nominated for the first time for the Turkish selection as part of the qualification for the 1954 World Cup . Turkey had to play two relegation games against Spain, the winner of which would qualify for the World Cup. Mamat made his national team debut on March 14, 1954 in a 1-0 first leg win in Istanbul. In the second leg, Mamat scored one of two goals for Turkey, which meant that Turkey qualified for a World Cup for the first time in the association's history with a final score of 2-2. During the World Cup he came to two missions and scored three hits. He scored one goal in the 4-1 defeat against the German team and two hits in the 7-0 win against South Korea . With three goals, Mamat is the most successful goalscorer in his country at a world championship together with Burhan Sargun and Ilhan Mansiz .

Mamat played for his country's national team until the fall of 1963. He played a total of 26 games in the national dress and scored five goals.

Coaching career

After his active career as a soccer player, he switched to coaching and looked after numerous clubs in the lower Turkish leagues. His first coaching position was the second division Zonguldakspor , which he took over in the summer of 1968 immediately after acquiring his coaching license.

Among other things, he looked after the second division side in 1971/72 and the first division side Zonguldakspor in 1976/77 .

For the season 1977/78 he took over the unknown provincial team MKE Kırıkkalespor and reached with this team the championship of the TFF 1st Lig and thus the direct promotion to the Süper Lig . After a disappointing start in the Süper Lig, he separated from this club after a few weeks.

In the summer of 1979 he took over the second division club Mersin İdman Yurdu and reached with this team the championship of the TFF 1st Lig and thus direct promotion to the Süper Lig . At the end of the season he separated from this club due to differences with the board of directors.

The last coaching activity he was in 1992 was Eyüpspor on an interim basis .
