[edit] Career as a player
Christoph Daum began his football career in 1971 in the youth league with Hamborn 07, transferred in 1972 to Eintracht Duisburg and then in 1975 to 1. FC Köln, where he played in the amateur league.
[edit] Career as a manager
After finishing his career as a player, he earned his coaching licence at the DFB and began working in 1981 as amateur coach with 1. FC Köln. In the 85/86 season he was promoted to assistant coach and in 1986 to the top position. During the 1990 FIFA World Cup, Daum was released from his position by Cologne's president Dietmar Artzinger-Bolten. In November 1990 he transferred to VfB Stuttgart, where he won the German championship in 1992. In the following season Daum committed a mistake in the first round of the Europacup against Leeds United on 30 September 1992 by illegally putting in a fourth foreign player. The game was declared a loss and the club subseqently flew out of the qualification. Thus the VfB missed out on the Champions League and Daum was released.
Beginning in 1994 Daum worked with the Turkish club Beşiktaş J.K. in Istanbul. He won the Turkish league championship title with Beşiktaş J.K. in the 1994/95 season.
[edit] Coaching Bayer Leverkusen and cocaine abuse
Daum returned to Germany two years later to coach Bayer Leverkusen in 1996. He was very successful in Bayer Leverkusen, winning 3 second places in Bundesliga in 4 years of coaching. Following the 2000 UEFA European Football Championship Daum was slated to become head coach of the German national team. However, this agreement was annulled by the DFB on October 21, 2000 when a voluntary hair test showed that he had consumed cocaine. As a result, Rudi Völler was given the job.
[edit] Back to Turkey
As a result of the so-called Daum-Affair he was fired from Bayer Leverkusen and was unable to find a club to work with in Germany. While he was still on trial in Germany, he returned to his former team Beşiktaş from March 2001 to May 2002. Afterwards, he moved to FK Austria Wien in October 2002, where he won another league championship title.
Beginning in July 2003, he was head coach at Fenerbahçe S.K.. Daum won two consecutive Turkish league championships in 2004 and 2005. While his failure to succeed in the Champions League was often criticized in the Turkish media, the improvements in Fenerbahce under his management was significant. At the end of the 2005/06 season Fenerbahce lost the championship to rivals Galatasaray in the last game, after which Daum resigned due to health reasons.
[edit] FC Koln signing
Daum signed for 1. FC Köln on November 27, 2006. The contract runs until 2010.
