Serdar Topraktepe

His displays in 2007–08 season for Kocaelispor helped his team to win promotion from TFF First League. Topraktepe was a skillful forward with flair and fierce shots. He was capped only twice for Turkey at senior level, despite having represented Turkey several times at youth levels. In his long career he had four league and two Turkish Cup titles.

On 22 December 2023, after the resignation of Beşiktaş manager Rıza Çalımbay, Topraktepe became the interim coach of Beşiktaş. His first match as Beşiktaş manager was an away match on 25 December 2023 held at Mersin Stadium, in which Beşiktaş defeated Hatayspor 2–1. He returned to his assistant duties following Fernando Santos' assignment as manager on 7 January 2024, but was reappointed as interim on 13 April 2024 until the end of the 2023–24 season due to Santos' sacking. On 9 January 2026 Topraktepe was referred to the Turkish Football Federation's disciplinary committee over allegations of placing bets. His referral is part of the 2025 Turkish football betting scandal.

Topraktepe was born on 25 August 1976 in Istanbul. He is the brother of the footballer Ömer Topraktepe.
