Muhsin Ertuğral (born 15 September 1959 in Istanbul) is a Turkish football (soccer) coach. He speaks German, Turkish and English fluently. He grew up in Cologne, Germany.

[edit] Coaching Career

Ertuğral is most notable for coaching in Africa, currently coaching Ajax Cape Town in the South African Premier Soccer League.

He also coached in Europe but was fired by SV Mattersburg.

Ertuğral took Ajax Cape Town to ABSA Cup glory with a 2-0 victory against league champions Mamelodi Sundowns on May 26, 2007. That proved to be a successful season for Ajax under Ertuğral as they went on to finish fourth in the league and the only side never to suffer defeat against Sundowns in that season.^[1]

He also coached Congo DR, then still known as Zaire, taking them to the African Cup of Nations in 1996, where they were eliminated in the quarterfinals. It was that performance with Zaire which caught the attention of Kaizer Chiefs MD Kaizer Motaung.

He picked up a number of trophies with South African team Kaizer Chiefs during his first stint, including the African Cup Winners' Cup in 2001, being the only person to lead a South African team to this honour.

On 08 May 2009 the Turkish coach has quit Kaizer Chiefs, but could remain in South Africa, where he is tracked by Ajax Cape Town^[2]. On 18 May 2009 ther former Kaizer Chiefs' Turkish coach has signed for Ajax Cape Town^[3].

As of 8 October 2009, upon Bülent Uygun's resignation, he agreed to pen a deal with the Turkish Super League underdogs Sivasspor, the contract runs between 30 June 2011.^[4] Yiğidos also announced that the assistant coach position will be occupied by former Beşiktaş favorite and South Africa national, Fani Madida. ^[5]
