Aytekin Viduşlu — Biography

Aytekin Viduşlu is a former Turkish international footballer who turned to coaching after a long playing career that began at Manisaspor and ended after the 2010-11 season. He spent most of his career in the lower divisions and also played in the Süper Lig. He began coaching in 2012 in the Manisaspor youth set-up.

The first phase of his playing career was spent at Çanakkale Dardanelspor: he left Manisaspor for them before the 1996-97 season and stayed about three and a half seasons, with a half-season loan at Yeni Salihlispor in between. In 2000 he moved to Altay, won the second-division A category title with them in 2001-02, and played in the Süper Lig the following season. After Altay's relegation he joined İstanbulspor for two Süper Lig seasons and half a season in the lower division. In January 2006 he signed a one-and-a-half-year contract with Ankaragücü and returned to the Süper Lig.

He stayed at Ankaragücü until the end of 2006-07, then spent a season at Antalyaspor, who had dropped into the First League, before playing in that league for Orduspor in 2008-09 and Mersin İdman Yurdu in 2009-10. In August 2010 he agreed a one-year deal with Balıkesirspor and retired at the end of that season. In one match he took over the captaincy against Belediye Vanspor in the absence of captain Yunus İçuz.
