Career

He is most known for his aggressive coaching style. Vural managed most of the clubs in the Turkish League, apart from the three giants which are Beşiktaş, Fenerbahçe, and Galatasaray. On 11 March 2008, he was sacked after his unsuccessful performance at Vestel Manisaspor with collecting just 7 points in 5 league matches. Recently, his name was given to a street in Adapazarı, where he was born and grown, in accordance with a local municipality project. On 10 October 2012, he was appointed to be the manager of Elazığspor. On 19 May 2013, he resigned from Elazığspor. On December 30, 2015 Vural was famously sacked from Gençlerbirliği by owner İlhan Cavcav after six days and only one game - a 2-0 away loss to Eskisehirspor.
