Hakan Yakin ({{langx|tr|Hakan Yakın}}; born 22 February 1977) is a Swiss professional football manager and former player who is the head coach of Swiss Challenge League side FC Schaffhausen. He spent the majority of his playing career as a forward or attacking midfielder in the Swiss top flight with brief forays abroad (in France, Germany, Turkey and Qatar). He represented Switzerland national team for eleven years, garnering 87 caps and scoring 20 goals.

Early and personal life

Hakan Yakin was born on 22 February 1977 in Basel, Switzerland, to Turkish parents. He grew up and went to school in suburban Münchenstein, Basel-Landschaft, just outside Basel, and close to the borders of France and Germany. He is the younger brother of international football player Murat Yakin, also a former member of the Switzerland national team, who currently works as a manager.{{cite news|url=https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/a-family-affair-in-need-of-high-maintenance-1.381867|title=A family affair in need of high maintenance|newspaper=The Irish Times|date=8 October 2003|access-date=29 July 2019}} His elder half-brother Ertan Irizik is also a former football professional. Yakin's surname is based on the Turkish word Yakın{{Cite web|url=https://www.tumgazeteler.com/?a=1554967|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120227181427/http://www.tumgazeteler.com/?a=1554967|url-status=dead|title=BIN and Offer|archivedate=27 February 2012|website=www.tumgazeteler.com}}{{cite web |url=http://www.habervitrini.com/haber.asp?id=346326 |title=Hakan Yakin In Annesi̇ Konuştu: Oğlum Türki̇ye Ye Bi̇r Golden Fazla Atma |access-date=2009-04-06 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110720004201/http://www.habervitrini.com/haber.asp?id=346326 |archive-date=20 July 2011 }} (meaning close, adjacent{{cite web|url=http://online.ectaco.co.uk/main.jsp?do=e-services-dictionaries-word_translate1&status=translate&lang1=20&lang2=en&source_id=3668175&refid=-1|title=Electronic Dictionary, Electronic Translator, Software for Translation for 45 languages|work=ECTACO UK}}), however as he is a Swiss resident and citizen, the name which he uses is Yakin.

Club career

As a child, Yakin played in the youth teams of his local side Concordia Basel. He signed his first professional contract with hometown club Basel in January 1995. He played his League debut for Basel on 12 April 1995 in the 1994–95 season in the match against Lausanne. He was brought on in the 60th minute as replacement for Alexandre Rey and with his first touch of the ball, just 18 seconds later, he scored the goal to make it 3–0, a header (final score 5–0).{{cite web | year = 2011 | url = http://www.fcsg-data.ch/#players-Y | title = FCSG Data Hakan Yakin | publisher = fcsg-data.ch | access-date = 16 November 2011|language=de}}

After two and a half years in Basel, he transferred to Grasshoppers, with manager Christian Gross, but could not establish himself, making most of his appearances as substitute, and he was loaned to St. Gallen for the second half of the 1997–98 season. He moved immediately into the starting eleven and so the loan was prolonged, before he returned to the Grasshoppers.

During January 2001, he transferred back to Basel. At the end of the 2001–02 season Yakin won the national Double with Basel and a year later won the Swiss Cup again. He recalls the 2002–03 Champions League Group B match on 12 November 2002 against Liverpool in St. Jakob-Park as the "match of his life".{{Cite book | last1 = Widmer | first1 = Benedikt | last2 = Mugglin | first2 = David | title = Das Spiel meines Lebens | publisher = rotweiss Verlag GmbH, Basel | year = 2011 | isbn = 978-3-7245-1785-6|language=de}} The game was drawn 3–3 and Yakin gave all three assists as Basel cruised to a 3–0 half-time lead as they qualified, one point above Liverpool, for the 2002–03 UEFA Champions League second group stage.{{cite web | year = 2002 | url = http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/classics/match=1036514.html | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120826072808/http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/classics/match=1036514.html | url-status = dead | archive-date = 26 August 2012 | title = Match report Basel–Liverpool | publisher = UEFA | access-date = 12 November 2002}}

Curiosity during the championship play-off round of their 2002–03 season was, that in the home match in the St. Jakob-Park on 19 April 2003, Yakin had a good game and scored a perfect hat-trick during the first half of the game as Basel won 3–0 against Young Boys.{{cite web | last = Verein "Basler Fussballarchiv" | url = https://www.fcb-archiv.ch/saison/spiele?command=detail&id=11192 | title = FC Basel – BSC Young Boys 3:0 (3:0) | publisher = Verein "Basler Fussballarchiv" | access-date = 2020-11-16}} Yakin showed his other side in the return match in the Stadion Neufeld in Bern one week later. As YB went a goal up he lost his temper and kicked the ball away, thus collecting a yellow card. Just ten minutes later he committed a rough foul and collecting a second yellow, thus yellow/red, to be sent-off.{{cite web | url = https://www.fcb-archiv.ch/saison/spiele?command=detail&id=11193 | title = BSC Young Boys – FC Basel 2:0 (0:0) | publisher = Verein "Basler Fussballarchiv" | access-date = 2020-11-16}}

His career was then overshadowed by some trouble regarding his club transfers, as his engagements outside Switzerland (Paris Saint-Germain,{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.com/footballeurope/news/kind=2/newsid=87352.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080514120555/http://www.uefa.com/footballeurope/news/kind=2/newsid=87352.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=14 May 2008|title=PSG complete Yakin swoop|date=31 July 2003|access-date=12 April 2008|publisher=UEFA}}{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.com/competitions/uefacup/news/kind=1/newsid=96597.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030901022415/http://www.uefa.com/competitions/UEFACup/news/Kind=1/newsId=96597.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=1 September 2003|title=Basel boosted by Yakin return|date=30 August 2003|access-date=12 April 2008|publisher=UEFA}} VfB Stuttgart,{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.com/competitions/ucl/news/kind=1/newsid=141849.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040214104346/http://www.uefa.com/competitions/UCL/news/Kind=1/newsId=141849.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=14 February 2004|title=Yakin follows Streller to Stuttgart|date=2 February 2004|access-date=12 April 2008|publisher=UEFA}} and Galatasaray{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.com/footballeurope/news/kind=2/newsid=275335.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080514120534/http://www.uefa.com/footballeurope/news/kind=2/newsid=275335.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=14 May 2008|title=Galatasaray give Yakin a go|date=26 January 2005|access-date=12 April 2008|publisher=UEFA}}) were not accompanied by luck.

In March 2009, it was reported that Yakin had been training with the Grasshoppers Under-21 side, coached by his brother Murat, in a bid to get fit.{{cite web|url=http://www.klatschheftli.ch/die-odyssee-des-hakan-yakin/1801|title=Klatschheftli.ch|website=www.klatschheftli.ch|access-date=29 March 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090328041945/http://www.klatschheftli.ch/die-odyssee-des-hakan-yakin/1801|archive-date=28 March 2009|url-status=dead}} Yakin then signed a contract on 25 June 2009 in his homeland Switzerland with FC Luzern, running through to 30 June 2011. In summer 2011 his brother Murat became his manager at FC Luzern.{{cite web|url=http://justcantbeatthat.com/2011/fc-yakin-the-club-formerly-known-as-fc-luzern/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161127023436/http://justcantbeatthat.com/2011/fc-yakin-the-club-formerly-known-as-fc-luzern/|url-status=dead|archive-date=2016-11-27|title=FC Yakin – the club formerly known as FC Luzern}}

During the mid-season break in January 2012 Yakin transferred to Bellinzona in the Challenge League, the second tier of Swiss football. He played his team debut on 26 February in the 2–0 home win against Stade Nyonnais. He scored his first two goals for the club in the 3–2 away win against Aarau on 9 April 2012.

International career

Image:Yakin061115.jpg, Switzerland, in 2006]]

Yakin was capped 87 times for Switzerland, the first coming in 2000. He was offered Turkish nationality before being called up to the Swiss squad, but turned it down for personal reasons.{{Citation needed|date=October 2011}} He has played in UEFA Euro 2004, UEFA Euro 2008 and both the 2006 FIFA World Cup and the 2010 FIFA World Cup with his country.

On 11 June 2008, he scored the opening goal in the 32nd minute of Switzerland's second Euro 2008 Group A match against Turkey, giving them a 1–0 lead and he refused to celebrate after the goal, out of respect for his family's birth country. However, he missed another chance shortly afterward as Turkey scored two second-half goals, resulting in Switzerland's becoming the first team to be mathematically eliminated from their own tournament within five days of its beginning.{{cite web|url=http://en.euro2008.uefa.com/tournament/matches/match=300690/report=rp.html|title=Switzerland vs Turkey match report|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090111221400/http://en.euro2008.uefa.com/tournament/matches/match%3D300690/report%3Drp.html|archive-date=11 January 2009}} However, in Switzerland's final group match against Portugal on 15 June, Yakin added two second-half goals, the second a penalty kick, to secure their first ever win at the UEFA European Championship, 2–0.{{cite web|url=http://en.euro2008.uefa.com/tournament/matches/match=300698/index.html|title=Switzerland vs Portugal match report|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080526144045/http://en.euro2008.uefa.com/tournament/matches/match=300698/index.html|archive-date=26 May 2008}} Yakin finished the tournament as joint-second highest goalscorer with Lukas Podolski, Roman Pavlyuchenko, and Semih Şentürk with three goals each, behind David Villa's four goals.

Under new national team coach, Ottmar Hitzfeld, Yakin participated in seven of Switzerland's ten qualifying matches for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, starting twice and making five substitute appearances, scoring one goal in Switzerland's opening qualifier against Israel. He announced his retirement from the Switzerland national team on 4 October 2011.{{cite web | year = 2011 | url = http://www.fcl.ch/dynasite.cfm?dsmid=78931&action=viewdet&ID=984 | title = Hakan Yakin beendet Nationalmannschafts-Karriere | publisher = FC Luzern homepage | access-date = 4 October 2011 | language = de | archive-date = 13 May 2014 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140513012617/http://www.fcl.ch/dynasite.cfm?dsmid=78931&action=viewdet&ID=984 | url-status = dead }}{{cite web | year = 2011 | url = https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro/history/news/0254-0d7d49ee512e-3ef89ef5d034-1000--hakan-yakin-calls-time-on-switzerland/ | title = Hakan Yakin calls time on Switzerland | publisher = UEFA | access-date = 6 October 2011}}

Coaching career

He was hired as an assistant coach to his brother Murat at Schaffhausen in 2019.{{cite web|publisher=FC Schaffhausen|url=https://fcschaffhausen.ch/news/detail/2019-06-17-090000-neuer-cheftrainer-fc-schaffhausen-murat-yakin-assistiert-von-hakan-yakin|title=NEUER CHEFTRAINER FC SCHAFFHAUSEN MURAT YAKIN ASSISTIERT VON HAKAN YAKIN|date=17 June 2019|accessdate=22 October 2021|language=de|archive-date=22 June 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190622234111/https://fcschaffhausen.ch/news/detail/2019-06-17-090000-neuer-cheftrainer-fc-schaffhausen-murat-yakin-assistiert-von-hakan-yakin|url-status=dead}} After Murat was hired as the manager of the Switzerland national football team in August 2021, Hakan served as a caretaker manager for Schaffhausen for 3 games. He returned to being assistant coach for the remainder of the season under Martin Andermatt.{{cite web|publisher=Schaffhausen|url=https://www.fcschaffhausen.ch/news/detail/2021-09-17-193000-martin-andermatt-neuer-fcs-trainer|title=MARTIN ANDERMATT NEUER FCS-TRAINER|date=17 September 2021|accessdate=22 October 2021|language=de|archive-date=22 October 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211022150944/https://www.fcschaffhausen.ch/news/detail/2021-09-17-193000-martin-andermatt-neuer-fcs-trainer|url-status=dead}} Together, they coached Schaffhausen to a second place finish in the 2021–22 Swiss Challenge League, but missed out on promotion in the promotion playoff.

On 4 June 2022, he was confirmed as the new head coach at Schaffhausen, as Andermatt's contract was not renewed.{{cite news |url=https://www.fcschaffhausen.ch/2022/06/04/der-fc-schaffhausen-geht-mit-hakan-yakin-als-cheftrainer-in-die-saison-2022-23/ |title=Der FC Schaffhausen geht mit Hakan Yakin als Cheftrainer in die Saison 2022/23 |publisher=FC Schaffhausen |language=de |date=4 June 2022 |access-date=4 June 2022}} This appointment is contingent on Yakin entering the course to receive his UEFA Pro Licence. As a result, he was briefly removed from the sidelines, but was later confirmed as head coach on 5 September 2022.{{cite news |url=https://sport.ch/fc-schaffhausen/1007103/die-kursbestaetigung-ist-da-hakan-yakin-darf-cheftrainer-beim-fc-schaffhausen-bleiben|title=Die Kursbestätigung ist da - Hakan Yakin darf Cheftrainer beim FC Schaffhausen bleiben|website=sport.ch |language=de |date=5 September 2022 |access-date=5 September 2022}} On 20 May 2023, he departed Schaffhausen, following a 2–0 loss to Aarau.{{cite news |url=https://www.fcschaffhausen.ch/fc-schaffhausen-und-hakan-yakin-beenden-die-zusammenarbeit/|title=FC Schaffhausen und Hakan Yakin beenden die Zusammenarbeit|website=fcschaffhausen.ch |publisher=FC Schaffhausen |language=de |date=20 May 2023 |access-date=20 May 2023}} Due to middling results in his first season as head coach, the club had decided not to renew his contract for the coming season. For personal reasons, Yakin stepped down from his post for the last two games of the season.

On 4 March 2025, he returned to the sideline at Schaffhausen,{{cite news |url=https://www.fcschaffhausen.ch/2025/03/04/hakan-yakin-ist-zurueck/|title=Hakan Yakin ist zurück |publisher=FC Schaffhausen |language=de |date=4 March 2025 |access-date=5 March 2025}} replacing Ciriaco Sforza with immediate effect.
