Tuncay Soyak (born February 3, 1959 in Ankara ) is a former Turkish football player and coach. Through his many years of work for Trabzonspor , he is strongly associated with this club and viewed by fans and clubs as one of the most important players in club history. He was involved in four of the club's six championships. He also enrolled in the club annals at Galatasaray Istanbul . He was part of the team that was able to win the Turkish championship again after fourteen years of waiting in the 1986/87 season . During his playing days, he saw several yellow and red cards because of his aggressive and quick-tempered manner and was therefore known as Deli Tuncay (Eng .: Tuncay the crazy ).

Player career

societies

Soyak was born in 1959 as the son of a family from the north-east Turkish town of Sürmene in the Turkish capital Ankara. Here he began at the age of thirteen with club football in the youth of the Ankara Tekelspor club . In 1975 he took part in a youth selection tournament of the traditional club MKE Ankaragücü and was among the drafted players. For the next three years he played for the youth and reserve team of the capital city.

In the first half of the 1970s, the club Soyak's home province of Trabzon , Trabzonspor , was promoted to the 1st Lig and surprisingly became the first Anatolian team to be Turkish champions in the 1st Lig 1975/76 season . Up to this season, the three big Istanbul clubs Beşiktaş , Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray decided the championship of the Süper Lig among themselves. Although another Anatolian club, Eskişehirspor, narrowly missed the championship three times, the ban remained. It was only solved with Trabzonspor's championship. After this championship, the club also dominated the league the next season and, in addition to the championship by winning the Turkish Football Cup and the Supercup, also collected all the other trophies in Turkish football at that time. It was only in the 1977/78 season that the team awarded the championship to Fenerbahçe with a point difference, but was able to get the other two cups. After this missed championship, a small revision was carried out in the squad and new players were signed up for the lost players. Since the club had achieved its previous success almost exclusively with players from its own region, attempts were again made to sign predominantly players from the local area. Soyak became aware of the club officials and signed him in 1978. At Trabzonspor he initially played for the reserve team. After the start of the season he was accepted into the professional squad by head coach Özkan Sümer . He made his professional debut in the game against Fenerbahçe. In this game he played in the starting line-up and took a penalty for his team when they were 0-1 deficit. Soyak's team-mate Orhan Akyüz converted the penalty kick to make it 1-1. Soyak made sure in his first game that his team did not lose to their direct rivals Fenerbahçe. After this encounter Soyak came to regular appearances and gained a regular place over the course of the season. At the end of the season, his team won the Turkish Championship and the President's Cup , an earlier version of the later Turkish Supercup. Soyak contributed four goals and a number of assists as a playmaker to this success. Soyak managed to win the Turkish championship with his team in the following two seasons. As a result, Trabzonspor was the second club after Galatasaray Istanbul to win the Turkish championship three times in a row. Soyak was particularly involved in winning the title in the 1980/81 season . During this season he scored eleven goals in 22 league games, making him the club's most successful goalscorer along with Sinan Ünal and fourth on the list of goalscorers in the first league. His team narrowly missed the Turkish championship twice in these two seasons. For this reason, the club invested in new players in the summer of 1983 and brought on aspiring young players such as Hasan Şengün , Hasan Vezir and Kemal Serdar . Soyak, who in the meantime had completely recovered from his injury and was fully operational again, formed a successful offensive team with the three strikers İskender Günen , Şengün and Vezir. With the reinforcements Trabzonspor got off to a good start in the 1983/84 season . In the first round of the UEFA Cup , the team faced the top Italian club Inter Milan . The first game in front of a home crowd Trabzonspor surprisingly won 1-0 and scored their first win against an Italian team. Soyak scored the goal with a handsome long-range shot outside the penalty area. This made him a match winner and one of the main players in one of the most important successes in the club's history at international level. The second leg was lost with 0: 2, so the club was eliminated in the first round. In the national league, Trabzonspor fought head-to-head for the Turkish championship with Fenerbahçe Istanbul and Galatasaray Istanbul. Before the 26th matchday, Trabzonspor took first place in the table with just one point ahead of the two opponents. Already in the Saturday game of this match day Galatasaray lost 3-0 to Orduspor and thus enabled Trabzonspor to achieve a first preliminary decision towards the championship by an away win against the other direct rivals Fenerbahçe. In the hard-fought game, which was sold out with 26,000 spectators, both teams played a thrilling game. Trabzonspor won the game 1-0 with a goal from Şengün in the 89th minute. With this victory, the club took an important step towards the championship. For the remaining game days, she confidently kept the point lead and reached the sixth and, for the time being, last championship in the club's history. With his three goals this season and numerous assists, Günen was instrumental in this success. With his team, Sokay also won the Turkish Football Cup this season , making it a Turkish double winner for the first time in his career . At the beginning of this season.

The following two seasons Soyak and his team fell short of expectations and could not win a title until the summer of 1986, except for the Prime Minister's Cup of the 1984/85 season. So a revision was carried out in the team squad and decided to put some players, including Soyak, on sale. Soyak moved to Istanbul's top club Galatasaray in the summer of 1986 . For the 1984/85 season, the former national coach Jupp Derwall took over the coaching position at this club. With this coach, the club management aimed to make a radical change in the team and to form a team over a longer period of time that could win the hoped-for championship. The first season under Derwall, the team finished a disappointing fifth place in the table, but could win the Turkish Football Cup. In the second season under Derwall, the careful team building showed an effect. So the team played for a long time for the Turkish championship and only missed it on the last match day, tied on points, but due to the worse goal difference, to city rivals Beşiktaş Istanbul . Soyak joined the team in the summer of 1986. At Galatasaray he took part in the pre-season preparatory camp. In a preparatory meeting played in Munich , Soyak broke his leg and fell out of the entire first half of the 1986/87 season. It was only in the winter training camp that he began to take part in team training. His first competitive game for Galatasaray completed Soyak on January 3, 1986 in the league game against Diyarbakırspor . In this encounter he came on in the 77th minute for the German-Turkish Erhan Önal . In the further course of the season Soyak was substituted on five more times by Derwall. In the 1986/87 season the club was able to win the long-awaited Turkish championship after a fourteen-year wait.

After a season at Galatasaray, Soyak was offered the option to leave the club without a transfer fee. Soyak turned down this offer and insisted on staying with Galatasaray. He was then not taken from Derwall to the preparatory camp for the 1987/88 season. So he agreed to want to leave the club and switched to league rivals Gençlerbirliği Ankara a little later . At this club club Soyak came to more stakes without being able to assert himself properly. After Gençlerbirliği missed relegation at the end of the season, Soyak left the capital city and was hired by Istanbul second division club Zeytinburnuspor . With Zeytinburnuspor he celebrated the championship of the second division season 1988/89 and thus achieved promotion to the 1st Lig . After promotion, Soyak only made four top division appearances. In the second first division season at Zeytinburnuspor Soyak conquered a regular place again and played in 24 of 30 possible league matches. Following this season, he ended his career.

National team

While at Trabzonspor Soyak was nominated for the squad of the Turkish U-21 national team and made his U-21 international debut on November 15, 1978 against the Romanian U-21 national team . In 1979 he played two more times for his country's U-21 team.

In 1980 he moved into the focus of the coaching staff of the Turkish national team . For example, he was in a test match against the Saudi Arabian national team from then national coach Sabri Kiraz for the first time in the squad of the Turkish national team . Soyak played in this game from the start and made his A international debut. He also scored his first international goal in the second minute of this game with the 1-0. After this game he was a regular national player for about a year. He was then not nominated for an international match for about two years due to injury. In 1984 he experienced his most successful season and was always seeded in the national team during this time.

He played his last international game on December 22, 1984 against the Luxembourg national team . In total, he played ten times for the Turkish national team and scored three goals.

Coaching career

Soyak began his coaching career in 1995 with the Istanbul third division club Fatih Karagümrük SK . After just three months, he separated from this club. For the 2000/01 season he took over the post of head coach at third division Tekirdağspor . With this club, too, he separated prematurely after three months. In March of the next year he took over the relegation-threatened club Balıkesirspor . At the end of the season he rose with this club from the TFF 2nd Lig in the regional amateur league. In March 2003 he took over the Istanbul fourth division team Tepecik Fıratpenspor . Soyak also failed to keep up with this club, which was threatened with relegation. In the summer of 2003 he was appointed head coach of the third division club Üsküdar Anadolu 1908 SK . After he and his team fell short of expectations, he had to leave the club in October 2003. In the following years he looked after a number of third and fourth division teams.
