Koca Yusuf Pasha

Koca Yusuf Pasha was an Ottoman statesman. He was grand vizier from 25 January 1786 to 28 May 1789 (during reign of Abdul Hamid I), and Kapudan Pasha (Grand Admiral of the Ottoman Navy) after 19 December 1789. [1] He became grand vizier again, this time serving from 12 February 1791 until mid-1792 (during reign of Selim III). He is considered to be one of the best Ottoman commanders of his time period, [2] but was notably defeated at the Battle of Focșani by Alexander Suvorov.

He was a Georgian convert to Islam and also served as the governor of the Peloponnese. [3]
