Cihat Arman

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cihat Arman (1919, Istanbul – May 14, 1994 Istanbul), was a Turkish football goalkeeper and manager.

He started playing football in his age of 15 and debuted in Ankaragücü. In 1936, Arman transferred to the Istanbul team Güneş. After the closure of this club, he moved to Fenerbahçe, where he uninterrupted played 308 games. He was nicknamed the "Flying goalkeeper".

During the World War II years, international competitions were rarely held. So, Arman played only 13 games with the Turkey national football team during this time. After 1949, he served as the goalkeeper and captain. He also coached the Turkey national football team and qualified for the 1950 World Cup trashing Syria 7-0 but Turkey withdrew due to financial problems.

After Arman retired from active sport in 1950, he coached the Istanbul teams Kasımpaşa, Istanbulspor, Yeşildirek, Beşiktaş and the national team (1950, 1957, 1958 and 1959).

The sports journalist died on May 14, 1994 in Istanbul.
