Managerial career

[edit]

Early career (2006–2011)

[edit]

Oral was hired as head coach for FSV Frankfurt prior to the 2006–07 season.[1] His debut was a 2–0 win against 1. FC Schwalmstadt[2] in the Hessenliga.[3] He would finish the season in first place; losing only one match.[4] The only loss of the season came on matchday 30 against Viktoria Aschaffenburg.[2] The club's first-place finish meant promotion to the Regionalliga Süd. During the 2007–08 season, Frankfurt defeated the reserve team of 1860 München, drew against the reserve team of Bayern Munich, and recorded a pair of draws against the reserve team of VfB Stuttgart.[5] Again, Frankfurt finished in first place and were promoted.[6] During the 2008–09 season, Frankfurt played in the 2. Bundesliga and German Cup.[7] Frankfurt started the season with a 2–0 win against VfL Osnabrück in the German Cup.[7] However, they went winless in their first four league matches of the season.[7] They were knocked out of the German Cup in the second round after losing 1–0 to Carl Zeiss Jena.[8] Frankfurt finished the season in 15th place; two points above the relegation playoff spot.[9] To start the 2009–10 season,[10] Frankfurt was knocked out of the German Cup by Borussia Mönchengladbach. Oral resigned on 5 October 2009.[11] Frankfurt were in 17th place at the time of his resignation.[12] He finished with a record of 53 wins, 31 draws, and 29 losses.[4][6][7][10]

Oral was head coach of RB Leipzig between 18 June 2010[13] and 28 May 2011.[14] Leipzig started the season with a nine–match undefeated streak.[15] He finished the season in fourth place.[16] He finished with a record of 18 wins, 10 draws, and six losses.[17]

2011–2016

[edit]

Oral was hired by FC Ingolstadt on 10 November 2011.[18] His first match was a 1–0 loss to 1860 Munich on 18 November 2011.[19] He would go on to win only one of his first eight matches as the new head coach.[20] The only win during that stretch was against FC St. Pauli.[20] However, starting from that victory, Ingolstadt went on a 14–match undefeated streak[21] which included wins over Hansa Rostock,[22] SC Paderborn 07,[23] VfL Bochum,[24] and Karlsruher SC.[25] The streak ended after a 4–1 loss to 1860 Munich.[21] Ingolstadt finished the 2011–12 season in 12th place.[26] The following season, Ingolstadt finished in 13th place.[27] Oral and Ingolstadt parted ways as of 30 June 2013.[28] His final match was a 3–0 loss to 1. FC Köln on 19 May 2013.[29] He finished with a record of 16 wins, 22 draws, and 17 losses.[30]

On 18 May 2015, Oral replaced Benno Möhlmann at FSV Frankfurt with a match left in the 2014–15 season.[31] The team was in 16th place when Oral was hired.[31] The match against 1. FC Kaiserslautern finished in a 1–1 draw[32] and Frankfurt jumped up to 13th place.[33] During the 2015–16 season, Frankfurt defeated Dynamo Berlin[34] and lost to Hertha BSC[35] in the German Cup. In the league, Frankfurt started the season with a three–match winless streak.[36] Frankfurt results were mixed up to the winter break.[36] Frankfurt lost to Arminia Bielefeld on matchday 19, immediately prior to the winter break.[37] At this point, Frankfurt dropped down to 14th place in the league table.[38] He was sacked on 10 April 2016 after losing 4–1 to VfL Bochum.[39] Frankfurt were in 14th place when he was sacked.[40] He finished with a record of nine wins, eight draws, and 15 losses.[41]

Oral was appointed as the head coach of Karlsruher SC on 8 March 2016 for the start of the 2016–17 season.[42] His first match was a 0–0 draw against Arminia Bielefeld on 7 August 2016.[43] Oral was sacked on 4 December 2016.[44] His final match was a 2–1 loss to Greuther Fürth on 2 December 2016.[43] Karlsruhe were in 16th place at the time Oral was sacked.[45] Oral finished with a record of two wins, six draws, and eight losses.[46]
