30 Jun 2022 Okan Buruk - A New Story!
A New Story!

Okan Buruk, who had many achievements in Galatasaray during his career as a football player, will now take charge of his former team as the coach.

Let's take a look at the life of a successful coach together.

Born on October 19, 1973, in Istanbul, Okan Buruk started his football career in the youth ranks of Galatasaray. Buruk played in various age groups in the yellow and red jersey, which he first wore when he was 11. He was also the captain of the Turkish U18 team, which won the UEFA European Under-18 Championship title in 1992.

Okan Buruk was one of the pillars of the midfield alongside Suat Kaya and Emre Belözoğlu, all three being from Galatasaray's "golden" generation. Galatasaray won the domestic title four times in a row, and he was one of the indispensable members of that team. In 2000, he added two new achievements to his career: UEFA Cup and UEFA Super Cup.

In 2001, Okan Buruk went to Inter, one of the oldest clubs in Italian Serie A, with Emre Belözoğlu. He was also on the field with the Turkish national team in the 2002 FIFA World Cup, which Turkey finished in third place.

After his time at Inter, Okan Buruk returned to Turkey and joined Beşiktaş, but his performance lacked consistency. After two years at Beşiktaş, he returned to Galatasaray. The star player, who wore the Galatasaray shirt for two more years, ended his football career in 2010 in Başakşehir.

Okan Buruk became one of the club legends by winning a UEFA Cup, a UEFA Super Cup, seven Super League titles, five Turkish Cups, and a Super Cup at Galatasaray. The star player also won a Turkish Cup while he played for Beşiktaş. Okan Buruk, who had been capped 54 times, was on the green grass in 434 matches during his professional football life.

Okan Buruk started his coaching career in Elağzıspor in 2013. Then took charge of Gaziantepspor, Sivasspor, Göztepe, Akhisar Belediyespor, Çaykur Rizespor, and Başakşehir, respectively. The 48-year-old coach won the Turkish Cup with Akhisarspor in the 2017-2018 season and the Super League title with Başakşehir in the 2019-2020 season.
