Bülent Giz — Biography
Bülent Giz was a Turkish footballer and later football manager, born in 1925. He played for Galatasaray and was the brother of the noted photographer Selahattin Giz.
After his playing career ended, Giz turned to sports journalism, and it was while covering the 1958 World Cup as a journalist that he closely observed the Brazilian national team's style of play. Drawing on that experience, he moved into coaching and became one of the first managers to apply a Brazilian-influenced approach to football in Turkey, leading PTT Gençlik and Mersin İdmanyurdu during the 1960s and 1970s.
