Professional career

Orhan followed his brothers and graduated from the Adanaspor and joined the first team in the Süper Lig. He spent the rest of his career in the highest divisions of Turkey, with notable performances with Trabzonspor and Kocaelispor.

Coaching career

On 2 March 2018, Kaynak was appointed as the manager of Sarıyer.[1] Kaynak won two games out of ten at Sarıyer. On 12 June 2018, Kaynak was linked with a move to Elazığspor. Later on the month, he was officially announced as the club's new manager. After seven months, on 24 January 2019, Kaynak decided to resign from Elazığspor. The club was in a very bad economical condition and had a debt of 46 million turkish lira, also with 12 players leaving the club.[2]

A few days later, on 28 January 2019, Kaynak was announced as the new manager of Boluspor.[3]

Personal life

Orhan was born in to a large family of 8 children. His brothers Reşit, Kayhan, İrfan, İlhan and Ayhan were all professional footballers.[4] He earned the nickname "Küçük Orhan" (meaning little Orhan), because Orhan Çıkırıkçı was in the same team at Trabzonspor.
