'''Hakan Yakin''' ({{langx|tr|Hakan Yakın}}; born 22 February 1977) is a Swiss professional [[Manager (association football)|football manager]] and former [[Football player|player]] who is the head coach of [[Swiss Challenge League]] side [[FC Schaffhausen]]. He spent the majority of his playing career as a [[Forward (association football)|forward]] or [[attacking midfielder]] in the Swiss top flight with brief forays abroad (in France, Germany, Turkey and Qatar). He represented [[Switzerland national football team|Switzerland national team]] for eleven years, garnering 87 caps and scoring 20 goals.

==Early and personal life==
Hakan Yakin was born on 22 February 1977 in [[Basel]], [[Switzerland]], to [[Turks in Switzerland|Turkish]] parents. He grew up and went to school in suburban [[Münchenstein]], [[Basel-Landschaft]], just outside Basel, and close to the borders of France and Germany. He is the younger brother of international football player [[Murat Yakin]], also a former member of the [[Switzerland national football team|Switzerland national team]], who currently works as a [[Manager (association football)|manager]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/a-family-affair-in-need-of-high-maintenance-1.381867|title=A family affair in need of high maintenance|newspaper=The Irish Times|date=8 October 2003|access-date=29 July 2019}}</ref> His elder half-brother [[Ertan Irizik]] is also a former football professional. Yakin's surname is based on the Turkish word ''Yakın''<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.tumgazeteler.com/?a=1554967|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120227181427/http://www.tumgazeteler.com/?a=1554967|url-status=dead|title=BIN and Offer|archivedate=27 February 2012|website=www.tumgazeteler.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.habervitrini.com/haber.asp?id=346326 |title=Hakan Yakin In Annesi̇ Konuştu: Oğlum Türki̇ye Ye Bi̇r Golden Fazla Atma |access-date=2009-04-06 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110720004201/http://www.habervitrini.com/haber.asp?id=346326 |archive-date=20 July 2011 }}</ref> (meaning ''close'', ''adjacent''<ref>{{cite web|url=http://online.ectaco.co.uk/main.jsp?do=e-services-dictionaries-word_translate1&status=translate&lang1=20&lang2=en&source_id=3668175&refid=-1|title=Electronic Dictionary, Electronic Translator, Software for Translation for 45 languages|work=ECTACO UK}}</ref>), however as he is a Swiss resident and citizen, the name which he uses is ''Yakin''.

==Club career==
As a child, Yakin played in the youth teams of his local side [[FC Concordia Basel|Concordia Basel]]. He signed his first professional contract with hometown club [[FC Basel|Basel]] in January 1995. He played his [[Swiss Super League|League]] debut for Basel on 12 April 1995 in the [[1994–95 Nationalliga A|1994–95 season]] in the match against [[Lausanne Sports|Lausanne]]. He was brought on in the 60th minute as replacement for [[Alexandre Rey]] and with his first touch of the ball, just 18 seconds later, he scored the goal to make it 3&ndash;0, a header (final score 5&ndash;0).<ref name="fcsg">{{cite web | year = 2011 | url = http://www.fcsg-data.ch/#players-Y | title = FCSG Data Hakan Yakin | publisher = fcsg-data.ch | access-date = 16 November 2011|language=de}}</ref>

After two and a half years in Basel, he transferred to [[Grasshopper Club Zürich|Grasshoppers]], with manager [[Christian Gross]], but could not establish himself, making most of his appearances as substitute, and he was loaned to [[FC St. Gallen|St. Gallen]] for the second half of the 1997–98 season. He moved immediately into the starting eleven and so the loan was prolonged, before he returned to the Grasshoppers.<ref name="fcsg" />

During January 2001, he transferred back to Basel. At the end of the [[2001–02 Nationalliga A|2001–02]] season Yakin won the national [[Double (association football)|Double]] with Basel and a year later won the [[Swiss Cup]] again. He recalls the [[2002–03 UEFA Champions League group stage#Group B|2002–03 Champions League Group B match]] on 12 November 2002 against [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]] in [[St. Jakob-Park]] as the "match of his life".<ref name="Das Spiel meines Lebens">{{Cite book  | last1 = Widmer | first1 = Benedikt | last2 = Mugglin | first2 = David | title = Das Spiel meines Lebens | publisher = rotweiss Verlag GmbH, Basel | year = 2011 | isbn = 978-3-7245-1785-6|language=de}}</ref> The game was drawn 3&ndash;3 and Yakin gave all three assists as Basel cruised to a 3&ndash;0 half-time lead as they qualified, one point above Liverpool, for the [[2002–03 UEFA Champions League]] [[2002–03 UEFA Champions League second group stage#Group D|second group stage]].<ref name="uefa 1">{{cite web | year = 2002 | url = http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/classics/match=1036514.html | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120826072808/http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/classics/match=1036514.html | url-status = dead | archive-date = 26 August 2012 | title = Match report Basel–Liverpool | publisher = [[UEFA]] | access-date = 12 November 2002}}</ref>

Curiosity during the championship play-off round of their [[2002–03 FC Basel season|2002–03 season]] was, that in the home match in the [[St. Jakob-Park]] on 19 April 2003, Yakin had a good game and scored a [[Hat-trick#Perfect hat-trick|perfect hat-trick]] during the first half of the game as Basel won 3–0 against [[BSC Young Boys|Young Boys]].<ref name="fcb-achiv-fcb-yb-2002/03 championship">{{cite web | last = Verein "Basler Fussballarchiv" | url = https://www.fcb-archiv.ch/saison/spiele?command=detail&id=11192 | title = FC Basel – BSC Young Boys 3:0 (3:0) | publisher = Verein "Basler Fussballarchiv" | access-date = 2020-11-16}}</ref> Yakin showed his other side in the return match in the [[Stadion Neufeld]] in [[Bern]] one week later. As YB went a goal up he lost his temper and kicked the ball away, thus collecting a yellow card. Just ten minutes later he committed a rough foul and collecting a second yellow, thus yellow/red, to be sent-off.<ref name="fcb-achiv-yb-fcb-2002/03 championship">{{cite web | url = https://www.fcb-archiv.ch/saison/spiele?command=detail&id=11193 | title = BSC Young Boys – FC Basel 2:0 (0:0) | publisher = Verein "Basler Fussballarchiv" | access-date = 2020-11-16}}</ref>

In March 2009, it was reported that Yakin had been training with the [[Grasshopper Club Zürich|Grasshoppers]] Under-21 side, coached by his brother [[Murat Yakin|Murat]], in a bid to get fit.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.klatschheftli.ch/die-odyssee-des-hakan-yakin/1801|title=Klatschheftli.ch|website=www.klatschheftli.ch|access-date=29 March 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090328041945/http://www.klatschheftli.ch/die-odyssee-des-hakan-yakin/1801|archive-date=28 March 2009|url-status=dead}}</ref> Yakin then signed a contract on 25 June 2009 in his homeland Switzerland with [[FC Luzern]], running through to 30 June 2011.

He played his team debut on 26 February in the 2&ndash;0 home win against [[Stade Nyonnais]].

==International career==
[[Image:Yakin061115.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Yakin in [[Bern]], Switzerland, in 2006]]
Yakin was [[cap (sport)|capped]] 87 times for [[Switzerland national football team|Switzerland]], the first coming in 2000. He was offered Turkish nationality before being called up to the [[Switzerland national football team|Swiss squad]], but turned it down for personal reasons.{{Citation needed|date=October 2011}} He has played in [[UEFA Euro 2004]], [[UEFA Euro 2008]] and both the [[2006 FIFA World Cup]] and the [[2010 FIFA World Cup]] with his country.

On 11 June 2008, he scored the opening goal in the 32nd minute of Switzerland's second Euro 2008 [[UEFA Euro 2008 Group A|Group A]] match against [[Turkey national football team|Turkey]], giving them a 1–0 lead and he refused to celebrate after the goal, out of respect for his family's birth country. However, he missed another chance shortly afterward as Turkey scored two second-half goals, resulting in Switzerland's becoming the first team to be mathematically eliminated from their own tournament within five days of its beginning.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://en.euro2008.uefa.com/tournament/matches/match=300690/report=rp.html|title=Switzerland vs Turkey match report|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090111221400/http://en.euro2008.uefa.com/tournament/matches/match%3D300690/report%3Drp.html|archive-date=11 January 2009}}</ref> However, in Switzerland's final group match against [[Portugal national football team|Portugal]] on 15 June, Yakin added two second-half goals, the second a [[Penalty kick (association football)|penalty kick]], to secure their first ever win at the [[UEFA European Football Championship|UEFA European Championship]], 2–0.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://en.euro2008.uefa.com/tournament/matches/match=300698/index.html|title=Switzerland vs Portugal match report|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080526144045/http://en.euro2008.uefa.com/tournament/matches/match=300698/index.html|archive-date=26 May 2008}}</ref> Yakin finished the tournament as joint-second highest goalscorer with [[Lukas Podolski]], [[Roman Pavlyuchenko]], and [[Semih Şentürk]] with three goals each, behind [[David Villa]]'s four goals.
