Zeynel Soyuer (born December 15, 1939 in İnegöl ) is a former Turkish football player and coach . Through his many years of work for Gençlerbirliği Ankara , he is strongly associated with this association. On fan and club pages he is seen as one of the most important players in club history. With 271 first division appearances for Gençlerbirliği, he is after Tevfik Kutlay (295 appearances) the player with the second most popular Süper Lig appearances in the club's history. In addition, with 46 league goals, he is sixth in the list of players with the most Süper Lig goals for Gençlerbirliği. During his playing days he was known by his nickname Rüzgarın Oğlu or Rüzgarın Oğlu Zeynel (German: Son of the Wind or Zeynel - Son of the Wind ) because of his fast and stormy style of play , as he often ran up and down the sideline as a winger. He was considered a technically talented marksman and was notorious for directly transforming his corner kicks to goal. He has scored several corner goals during his career . After his football career, he worked successfully as a coach for many years and in this role he achieved several records in Turkish football.

Player career

society

Soyuer was born in İnegöl and started playing football on the street here. He played with his friends at the Kavaklar Altı football field . Here some older children noticed his talent and word of his talent got around. As he got older, he found himself enjoying this sport more and more. Therefore, at the age of sixteen, he started with the largest club in his hometown at the time, İnegöl İdmanyurdu, with club football. In 1958 he was discovered for the Turkish U-18 national team and in that year he played four games for Turkish U-18s. Soyuer became aware of several larger associations. In the same year he took part in a talent scouting tournament in Ankara and was immediately approached by the capital city club MKE Ankaragücü . A little later he met with the club leaders Natık Has and Ahmet Gırgır in the district town of Çekirge and initially reached an oral agreement. Both sides agreed a meeting for the following day in which the change should be contractually recorded. Since no one from Ankaragücü came to this meeting after Soyuers, Rüknettin Akbulut , who was interested in football in the city, got involved and referred Soyuer to Sadrettin Çanga , a former player of the Gençlerbirliği Ankara capital club and a member of parliament at the time . This then immediately contacted some club officials from Gençlerbirliği and made Soyuer move to this club.

At the time of his move to Gençlerbirliği, there was no transnational professional league in Turkey. Instead, regional leagues existed in metropolitan areas such as Istanbul , Ankara and Izmir , of which the league, renamed İstanbul Profesyonel Ligi (German: Istanbul Professional League ) in 1952, was considered the most prestigious. After the Istanbul professional league came the Ankara Futbol Ligi (German: Ankara professional league ) in which Gençlerbirliği also took part as the capital city club. Soyuer played one season in this league after his move.

From the spring of 1959 he played with Gençlerbirliği in the newly founded and nationwide Millî Lig , now known as Süper Lig . This newly founded league replaced the most important regional leagues, including İstanbul Profesyonel Ligi and Ankara Futbol Ligi . The first season was played from February 1959 to June 1959 and ended with the championship of Fenerbahçe Istanbul . Gençlerbirliği was far behind from the top of the table in penultimate place. As a youngster, Soyuer played almost all of his team's games and scored one goal. Soyuer had a breakthrough in the second season. With 13 goals this season, he was the most successful goalscorer of his team and played a major role in ensuring that his club was in the middle of the table.

In the summer of 1960, a test match between Gençlerbirliği and Beşiktaş Istanbul was held in Ankara . Soyuer showed an outstanding performance in this game. He ran up and down the left wing during the game and scored all three goals in his team's 3-0 win. Beşiktaş was the reigning Turkish soccer champion and played this game with all its stars. Soyuer's popularity increased through his performance in this game. The Gençlerbirliği fans gave him his nickname Rüzgarın Oğlu (English: Son of the Wind ) because of this game, with which he then associated the rest of his career.

In the third first division season, the 1960/61 season , Soyuer increased his services again. With his 16 league goals, as the club's top scorer, he played a significant role in ensuring that his club finished the season in 5th place in the table and achieved the best first division placement in the club's history. He also caught the eye of the then Turkish national coach, the Italian Sandro Puppo , who made him a member of the Turkish national team .

In the next season, the 1961/62 season, Soyuer became one of the most popular players in the league. He was also noticed this season by his trademark corner goals . After he had converted several corner kicks as a goal in the current season, most recently on December 10, 1960 against Karagümrük SK . Because of these goals, the two club presidents Orhan Şeref Apak from Gençlerbirliği and Agah Erozan from Fenerbahçe Istanbul before the league match on March 5, 1961 between the two clubs a bet. After that, the president should wear the other club's pin if Soyuer managed to score another corner goal. In the run-up to the game, this bet became publicly known, so that in the Mithatpaşa Stadium, which was sold out with 25,000 spectators, public interest was directed to Soyluer. In this game, Soyluer gave his team a 1-0 lead with a regular hit in the second minute. Fenerbahçe took a 2-1 lead within the next twenty minutes. In the 36th minute Gençlerbirliği received a corner kick from the left side of the goal. Soyuer then prepared to take the corner kick. The Fenerbahçe goalkeeper Şükrü Ersoy positioned himself on the right side of the goal. Soyuer curled the ball into the top right corner of the goal and thus scored the equalizer for his team. The game ended 3: 3 and Soyluer became the man of the match .

Soyuer played with Gençlerbirliği until the summer of 1970 in the 1st Futbol Ligi and then rose for the first time in the club's history in the Türkiye 2nd Futbol Ligi . Soyluer played one more season in the 2nd Lig and ended his active football career in the summer of 1961.

National team

Soyuer was nominated for the first time for the Turkish U-18 national team during his time with İnegöl İdmanyurdu in 1958 and this year he played his four games for the Turkish U-18s.

In 1961, the then Turkish national coach, the Italian Sandro Puppo , noticed who appointed him to the Turkish national team . Soyuer completed his first and only international match on May 14, 1961 in a friendly against the Romanian national team .

Coaching career

Immediately after his playing career, Soyuer began working as a coach. As a first activity he took over the youth teams Gençlerbirliği Ankara together with his long-time teammate Tevfik Kutlay and looked after them for an unknown time. After this position, Souyer worked for a while at Ankara Sitespor as head coach.

In the summer of 1974 Soyuer attended a coaching course organized by the Turkish Football Association , together with other former Turkish football greats, and then obtained his coaching license. After obtaining his coaching license, he began to work as a coach for the Turkish U-18 team. He looked after this team until 1976 with changing partners as a coaching duo . When he took office, for example, he worked with his old teammate Çetin Güler . Later he also worked with Teoman Yamanlar . Together with Yamanlar, he coached the Turkish U-18s during the 1975 UEFA youth tournament, which was held in Switzerland . During this tournament, Turkey fell into a group with France, Denmark and Luxembourg. As an insignificant football country at the time, Soyuer's team was treated as an outsider. During the group stage, they faced the two favorites France and Denmark and made it to the semi-finals. In the semi-finals, they lost 1-0 to the Finnish U-18 national team and then in the game for third place on penalties with 2: 3 to the Hungarian U-18 national team. The tournament was finished fourth and after a long time achieved a good result in a larger tournament as the first Turkish national soccer team.

In addition to his work for the Turkish U-18s, Soyuer began in September 1975 together with Doğan Andaç to look after the Turkish U-21 national team .

With the U-18, Soyuer also qualified for the 1976 UEFA youth tournament. In qualifying for this gymnast, the Austrian U-18 national team was eliminated. In this tournament Soyuer's team was eliminated in the group stage from the tournament. After this departure Soyuer left the Turkish U-18s.

For the 1996/77 season, Soyuer, who acquired a further coaching license in April 1976 and was able to look after club teams in the professional leagues, took over the second division Diyarbakırspor . With this club he put down a very successful start to the season and was in the second division season 1976/77 and reached the autumn championship . In the league then played with the 2-point rule , he managed a six-point gap in the first half of the season to the runner-up Sarıyer SK and was therefore chosen to coach the first half of the 2nd Lig. Soyuer's team finished the season as champions and was promoted to the 1st league for the first time in the club's history . Soyuer was then voted coach of the year in the 2nd league by the then most renowned sports newspaper Milliyet . After this success it was only announced that Soyuer would also look after the team in the 2nd league. Ultimately, it did not come to a continuation of the cooperation, so that Diyarbakırspor started with Candan Dumanlı in his first first division season.

Soyuer took over the second division Gaziantepspor in the summer of 1977 . He looked after this club for about a season. This season they played almost the entire season for the championship and thus also for promotion to the 1st league. The season finally ended the club behind MKE Kırıkkalespor in 2nd place and thus missed promotion.

For the 1978/79 season, Soyuer agreed with the first division club Adana Demirspor and thus worked for the first time in his career in the top Turkish league. With Demirspor he scored some surprise victories, but remained largely below expectations. At the end of the season he achieved relegation with the relegation-threatened club.

In the summer of 1979 he remained loyal to the 1st Lig and took over the post of head coach at the newly promoted Rizespor . Under Soyuer Rizespor advanced to the surprise team of the first division season 1979/80 . In addition to a well-played football, the team ended the season in 5th place in the table and thus achieved the best first division placement in the club's history, which is still valid today. At the end of the season Soyuer was chosen by the Turkish Football Association as the second best coach of the season behind Ahmet Suat Özyazıcı , who was voted the best coach of the season due to his third time Turkish Championship with Trabzonspor .

Despite this success with Rizespor, Soyuer left the club and moved within the 1st Lig to the promoted Kocaelispor and replaced the resigned Fethi Demircan with whom the club had achieved promotion. He looked after this club for the next two seasons and always occupied safe non-relegation places in the middle table segment. While he reached 8th place in the table in the 1980/81 season, he slipped with his team after the 0-1 home defeat against Bursaspor on the 24th matchday of the season in the relegation ranks. After this defeat, Soyuer separated from Kocaelispor.

For the new season Soyuer then took over the second division club İskenderunspor . While at İskenderunspor, Soyuer was accidentally punished twice by the Turkish Football Association for the same offense. This fact was rated as a scandal by the media. Over the entire season, his team fought head-to-head with Orduspor for the championship lead. In the end, Orduspor rose to the title of champion, while İskenderunspor went empty-handed as runner-up. Soyuer then left İskenderunspor at the end of the season.

In the season 1983/84 Soyuer returned to the 1st Lig and signed with the capital club MKE Ankaragücü . His contract with Ankaragücü stipulated a salary of TRY 225,000 . With this salary, Soyuer became the second highest paid coach of this first division season after Tomislav Ivić, who was employed by Galatasaray Istanbul . Soyuer had a successful season with his team and finished the league in 5th place in the table. With this result he again reached his career record which he already achieved with Rizespor in the 1979/80 season. In addition, the second-best placement in the club's history was repeated by Ankaragücü. After these results, Soyuer and his colleagues Ahmet Suat Özyazıcı ( Trabzonspor ), Nevzat Güzelırmak ( Denizlispor ) and Nihat Atacan ( Malatyaspor ) were named the most successful coach of the season by the Turkish Football Association.

Despite this success, Soyuer left Ankaragücü at the end of the season and instead took over the second division side Konyaspor . The city notabels of Konya had made a large budget available for the football club and intended to move up to the 1st league. For this purpose, Soyuer, one of the most popular Turkish coaches at the time, was hired. At Konyaspor he stayed in office for only two match days and then resigned. According to his own information, his resignation happened as follows: After the 0-1 away defeat against Adanaspor Soyuer returned with his team to Konya and intended to organize a training with the team. Shortly before this training, the entire team was asked to speak to the Vali (German: Governor) of Konya Kemal Katıtaş . The governor asked all players about their position in the game, then recorded a tactical alignment of the team on a piece of paper and gave this to Soyuer with a friendly instruction to please implement it from now on. Soyuer immediately resigned and tried to leave the city. The governor tried several times to change his mind, but failed.

After separating from Konyaspor, Soyuer took over the first division team Antalyaspor . He looked after this club until the winter break and then announced his resignation.

After working for Antalyaspor, Soyuer took a break until the summer of 1985 and then took over his former club MKE Ankaragücü . As the first of his official acts, he organized the change from the talent Durmuş Çolak . Soyuer had already trained this when he was at İskenderunspor and therefore helped with the change. At this club, Soyuer Çolak managed to develop into a star of the league and to gain some respectable victories with his team. However, since he repeatedly failed to establish himself at the top of the table due to unexpected defeats, criticism of himself came again and again. After the 2-4 home defeat against Denizlispor on December 14, 1986 , fans violently attacked Soyuer and his son. After these attacks, Soyuer announced his resignation. Then he was moved by the club's board to continue his coaching activity. Soyuer looked after the team until the end of the season and then left this club.

For the new season, the 1987/88 season, Soyuer was introduced as the new coach by the first division club Zonguldakspor . After Soyuer's team suffered a draw and a home defeat in the first two match days of the season, Soyuer announced his resignation and was replaced by Turgut Öngör a little later . After this resignation Soyuer remained unemployed until the second half of the season and was traded as the successor to the Turkish national coach Mustafa Denizli . At the beginning of March 1988 Soyuer took over the coaching position at the first division club Denizlispor and thus followed Necdet Zorluer . With Denizlispor Soyuer fought the entire season to stay in the league, but since the league should be reduced from 20 to 16 teams at the end of the season, four teams had to relegate. Despite this high number of relegations, Denizlispor retained the chance of relegation until the last matchday. On the last day of the match they lost 3-2 to Fenerbahçe Istanbul in a highly competitive game at home and were relegated. After this descent Soyuer left Denizlispor.

In the summer of 1988 Soyuer took over the second division team Trakya Birlik Edirnespor . At this association, which was only called Edirnespor until the summer , the Trakya Birlik (Eng. Trakya Association), a local agricultural cooperative, bought itself as the main sponsor and added the addition Trakya Birlik to the association's name . This main sponsor invested in the team and wanted to achieve a quick promotion to the top Turkish league. For this purpose, Soyuer, one of the most popular Turkish coaches at the time, was hired. Soyuer looked after this club for an unknown time.

For the second half of the 1989/90 season Soyuer was the head coach of the second division Gaziantepspor . He led this club confidently to the championship and thus to promotion to the 1st Lig . After the championship was secured several weeks before the end of the season, Gaziantepspor finished the season 17 points ahead of the second-placed club Petrol Ofisi SK . After this success the club president Gaziantepspors Celal Doğan tried to continue the cooperation with Soyuer, but both parties did not come to an agreement. Soyuer was then voted coach of the year in the 2nd league by the then most renowned sports newspaper Milliyet .

For the new 1990/91 season Soyuer took over the second division team Malatyaspor . At this club, Nurettin Soykan, the financially strong patron , who was elected club president in the early 1980s and who invested heavily in the club's most successful period in the club's history, withdrew from his offices in the club. After the lack of this donor, the club was no longer able to pay the players' salaries, which is why the players committed to boycotting the training. A few days later, Soyuer resigned as coach of Malatyaspor.

After his separation from Malatyaspor Soyuer remained without activity until the end of the season and took over the second division team Petrol Ofisi SK in the summer of 1991 . With this club he finished the season in 2nd place in the table and so missed direct promotion to the 1st Lig. After the end of the season, he left this club and agreed for the coming season with Samsunspor . At this club, Soyuer worked with mostly young and then unknown players such as Ercan Koloğlu , İmdat Arslan , Osman Akyol , Müjdat Gürsu , Ertuğrul Sağlam , Bünyamin Kubat , Orhan Kaynak , Serkan Aykut , Cenk İşler , all of whom later became important figures in Turkish football should be. Soyuer managed to build a strong team from this young team, which became second division champions at the end of the season and rose to the first league. Despite this success, Soyuer left the club at the end of the season.

For the new season he took over the new second division club Yeni Sincanspor . After Sincanspor Soyuer still worked for the second division Sakaryaspor . In the spring of 1996 he was introduced as the new coach at the first division club Karşıyaka SK, which was threatened with relegation . He only looked after this club for two months and then announced his resignation. For the 1996/97 season he took over the second division Kardemir Karabükspor . Already after about four months he gave his office to Giray Bulak , who led the club to the championship and thus promotion at the end of the season. Soyuer exercised his last coaching activity at Sakaryaspor in the 1978/98 season and then no longer worked as a coach.
