Kemalettin Şentürk (born 9 February 1970) is a Turkish retired footballer who played mainly as a sweeper but also as a defensive midfielder, and a manager.
He spent most of his career at Fenerbahçe, amassing Süper Lig totals of 222 games and 33 goals over the course of nine seasons. In 2010, he started working as a manager.
Club career
Born in Artvin, Şentürk started his professional career with Çaykur Rizespor in the second division, signing for Gençlerbirliği in 1991. He transferred to Fenerbahçe S.K. after two seasons, following brilliant displays in the Süper Lig and with the Turkish under-21 national team.
Always an important first-team element, Şentürk contributed with 24 games and three goals in the 1995–96 campaign as Fenerbahçe lifted the national championship, scoring in a 3–1 home win against runners-up Trabzonspor on 9 December 1995. After a bout of indiscipline, he was loaned to Ankaragücü in January 1999, being instrumental in helping it avoid relegation.
Leaving Fenerbahçe in June 2000, Şentürk joined Diyarbakırspor, then made a brief top flight return with Antalyaspor and retired for good in late 2005, after having played for modest clubs: Kahramanmaraşspor, Osmaniyespor, Kütahyaspor, Mustafakemalpaşaspor and Kırıkkalespor.
International career
Şentürk played five times for Turkey during slightly more than one year, making his debut on 30 August 1995 in a 2–1 friendly home win over Macedonia.
