Ersin Güreler (born September 7, 1978) is a retired Turkish footballer who primarily played as a left back. Known for his attacking style of play, he represented 12 different teams in Turkish football. However, his involvement in the Gülen movement came under scrutiny following the attempted coup d'etat in July 2016. Subsequently, in January 2020, Güreler was convicted and sentenced to 6 years and 3 months in prison for being a member of an armed terror organization due to his connections with the Gülen movement.[1]
