Career

edit

Ural began his career with the Grasshoppers. After one year, he joined the junior team of the St. Gallen where he stayed for two years. In July 2008, he was lent to the Vaduz. There, he stayed and played from early 2009 on, and then returned to St. Gallen.[2] His club lent him again to Servette; there, he played between 30 June 2009 and 1 July 2009, before turning back to St. Gallen.[3] On 1 October 2009, Gossau signed the forward on loan from St. Gallen until the end of the season.[4]

Managerial career

edit

On 13 February 2024, he was appointed as interim co-trainer of Zürich, alongside Umberto Romano, following Bo Henriksen's sudden departure.[5] The two of them were dismissed from their positions on 22 April 2024,[6] as the team had slipped from third to sixth position in the table. He moved to VfL Bochum and took over the interim head coaching role in October 2024, before being replaced two weeks later.[7][8]
