Taner Savut (10 August 1974 – c. 6 February 2023)[1] was a Turkish sporting director and footballer who played as a right back.
Born in İzmir, Savut began his career at hometown club İzmirspor in 1994 before joining Fenerbahçe in 1997.
He played his sole European match on 29 September that year as the team lost 2–1 at home to Steaua București in the UEFA Cup first round.
In 1999 he moved to fellow Süper Lig team Göztepe and a year later Siirtspor, where he scored his only goal of 71 top-flight appearances, concluding a 3–0 home win over Gençlerbirliği on 6 May 2001.
[2] Savut died in the 2023 Turkey–Syria earthquake which struck on 6 February, in the same building collapse that killed Hatayspor player Christian Atsu.
