| Çağdaş Atan (Turkish pronunciation: ; born 29 February 1980) is a Turkish former professional footballer and current manager who is serving as the head coach of Konyaspor. During his playing days, he operated primarily as a central defender.
Atan began his career in the youth ranks of Altay and Marmaris Belediyespor, before establishing himself in senior football with Denizlispor in the early 2000s. His performances then earned moves to Turkish top-tier sides Beşiktaş and Trabzonspor. In 2009, Atan signed with Basel in the Swiss Super League, where he won successive league titles and appeared in UEFA Champions League group-stage matches. He later returned to Turkey to play for Mersin İdmanyurdu, Akhisarspor, Gaziantep BB, and Manisaspor, ultimately retiring from playing in 2015.
Internationally, Atan earned his first cap for the Turkey national team in 2004 and marked the occasion by scoring in a friendly against Croatia. He also featured for Turkey’s U21 side earlier in his career.
After hanging up his boots, Atan moved into coaching. He started as an assistant manager at Alanyaspor before being promoted to head coach in 2020. Wikipedia text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License - Full article |
