Yilmaz Sahin
EstoniaI am an experienced UEFA-A football coach from Türkiye, with coaching experience across Türkiye, Portugal, and Estonia, working with both senior and youth football in different competitive and cultural environments.
A certified Tactical Periodization coach, and hold a Master’s degree in Motivation and a Bachelor’s degree in Football Coaching.
With more than 10 years of coaching experience, I have developed through different roles and environments, gaining extensive experience in people management, achieving short-term performance outcomes, and building foundations for sustainable long-term development.
Why do I coach?
My coaching philosophy is centred on adding value to players as people and as footballers. I aim to create an environment in which players can develop, challenge themselves, take responsibility, and discover their potential within the context of football.
How do I coach?
My approach is shaped by my international coaching experiences, academic background, and continuous professional development. I aim to understand the cultural and contextual demands of different football environments and adapt my practice accordingly.
I have experience working across youth, senior, and women's football, and I focus on connecting methodology with the realities of the game. Through clear methodological processes, both on and off the pitch, I aim to achieve immediate competitive objectives while simultaneously building the foundations for long-term player, team, and organisational development.
