Christoph Daum (born 24 October 1953 in Zwickau) is a German football coach.

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.

Career as a manager

Work in Germany and move to Turkey

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 1985/86 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 European Cup against Leeds United on 30 September 1992 by illegally putting in a fourth foreign player. A replay was scheduled, which Leeds won. The UK newspaper 'The Sun' dubbed him 'Christoph Dumb' following this incident. 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. He was sacked after losses Kocaelispor by 5-3 at home and Vanspor by 2-0 at away in 1995–96 season.^[1]

Coaching Bayer Leverkusen and cocaine abuse

Daum returned to Germany two years later to coach Bayer Leverkusen in 1996. He was very successful at Bayer Leverkusen, winning 3 second places in Bundesliga in four years of coaching. Following the 2000 UEFA European Football Championship Daum was tipped to become head coach of the German national team. The press reported rumours that Daum engaged in cocaine-fuelled orgies with prostitutes. Daum threatened the press and gave hair samples to the authorities to convince everybody about his innocence. The samples showed that he was a cocaine user but he told the press that the hairs were not his. But one year later he accepted that he took cocaine, otherwise he could go to jail for 5 years. Meanwhile, this agreement was annulled by the DFB on 21 October 2000 and Rudi Völler was given the job.

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.^[2]

Beginning in July 2003, he was head coach at Fenerbahçe. 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 Fenerbahçe under his management was significant. At the end of the 2005–06 season Fenerbahçe lost the national championship to their arch-rival Galatasaray on the final week of the league, after which Daum resigned.^[3]

1. FC Köln signing

Daum signed for 1. FC Köln on 27 November 2006. The contract ran until 2010. Köln returned to Bundesliga after finishing 3rd in Second Bundesliga in 2007–08 season. Daum left the club on 1 June 2009.^[4]^{[dead link]}
