Coaching career
Korkut began his coaching career in 2007 in the youth department of his former club Real Sociedad San Sebastián . In the 2009/10 season he was head coach of the TSG 1899 Hoffenheim U17 team . In March 2011, he acquired his football instructor license at the Hennes-Weisweiler Academy in Cologne and has had a UEFA Pro license ever since.
For the 2011/12 season Korkut was the new head coach of the U-19s at VfB Stuttgart . At the end of the year he terminated his contract because he had received an offer from the Turkish Football Association. From January 1, 2012, he worked as an assistant coach for the Turkish national team. After the resignation of national coach Abdullah Avcı in August 2013, Korkut was not considered in the coaching staff by his successor Fatih Terim .
On December 31, 2013 he was introduced as the new coach of Hannover 96 and took over the team in 13th place in the table with 18 points. He received a contract until June 30, 2016. In the second half of the 2013/14 season he picked up 24 points and finished the season in tenth place in the table. He also finished the first half of the 2014/15 season with 24 points in eighth place in the table and thus scored 48 points in 34 Bundesliga games in the 2014 calendar year. On April 20, 2015, he was given leave of absence after 13 games without a win - six draws and seven defeats.
On June 15, 2016, he was introduced as the new head coach of the second division club 1. FC Kaiserslautern . In December 2016, he terminated his contract with the second division at his own request.
On March 6, 2017, Bayer 04 Leverkusen signed Korkut as coach until the end of the 2016/17 season . He succeeded Roger Schmidt , who had been dismissed the day before . Korkut took over most of the coaching staff of his predecessor when he took up his position, with Markus Krösche being replaced by Xaver Zembrod , with whom Korkut had already worked in Hanover and Kaiserslautern. On May 13, 2017, the club ruled out any collaboration beyond the end of the season.
On January 29, 2018, Korkut took over the Bundesliga team of the promoted VfB Stuttgart, who were in 14th place in the table after the 20th matchday with 20 points, as the successor to Hannes Wolf . Korkut got 31 points from the 14 remaining Bundesliga games (nine wins, four draws and one defeat). After he achieved seventh place with a 4-1 away win at Bayern Munich with VfB on the last match day of the 2017/18 Bundesliga season and narrowly missed qualifying for the European Cup, his contract period was extended from June 2018 to June 2020. After only five points from the first seven games of the 2018/19 season , Korkut was given a leave of absence on October 7, 2018, lying on the bottom of the table.
