Yücel Uyar (born April 2, 1960) is a Turkish football coach and former footballer. In 2011, he served as the head coach of the Turkey women's national football team.[1][2]

He played in the TFF Second League team of his hometown Samsunspor from 1989 to 1993, ending his active player career at the end of the season.[1]

Between 1999 and 2001, he was appointed staff member for developing and training young players at Samsunspor. In the 2001–02 season, Uyar served as head coach of the team. After a brief time at Orduspor in 2002, he transferred to Eyüpspor for the 2003–04 season. Returned to his main club Samsunspor in 2004, he took over the responsibility again for the youth and juniors. Uyar was appointed head coach of Samsunspor, resigned though from his post after a short while.[3] Finally, he was transferred by Ünyespor, where he managed one year long until January 2007.[2]

In 2006, Yücel Uyar's name was mentioned in a sports corruption scandal in relation with an investigation into match fixing between Samsunspor and Fenerbahçe S.K. in the 2000–01 Süper Lig season, after which the latter took the league championship title.[4] He sued the person, who had alleged his involvement in the match fixing scandal, and won the case in the court, which attested his innocence and sentenced that person to a fine of Turkish lira symbol 8x10px.png5,000 in 2008.[5]
