Ömer Kaner stated that Davala found hard to accommodate in futsal, at that time. Coaching career Davala had been the head coach of Turkey national under-21 team until June 2008. He then joined Galatasaray S.K. as an assistant manager on 11 June 2008. After a loss to Bursaspor, the Galatasaray board stated "radical changes" were on the way, and, true to its word, the board declared that assistant coaches Davala and Edwin Boekamp were sacked on 10 October 2008 after a brief chat with club president Adnan Polat. However, Davala rejoined Galatasaray as an assistant manager again in June 2011. Musical career Davala released several rap themed songs, just after he retired from football. One was a collaboration with Kayahan. Career statistics Club International Scores and results list Turkey's goal tally first, score column indicates score after each Davala goal.
