Aygün Taşkıran (born 22 April 1974) is a retired Turkish football midfielder.^[1]

His main trophy in a long career in Fenerbahçe was winning the 1995–96 1.Lig. The contest was very close between Fenerbahçe and Trabzonspor. When Fenerbahçe played Trabzonspor away, Ali Haydar Şen arranged a bus ride for the team. The bus was attacked by stonepelters, with Aygün Taşkıran receiving a minor head injury. Fenerbahçe managed to use the upsetting episode as motivation to clinch the title, however.^[2]

He was a youth coach in Manisaspor until leaving in 2018.^[3] In 2022 he became manager of Menemenspor, being promoted from an assistant role.^[4]

Personal life

In 2016, Aygün Taşkıran lost his daughter Yeren in a car accident. The car was driven by Aygün's father Yusuf.^[5]^[6]
