Managerial career

Early career (2006–2011)

Oral was hired as head coach for FSV Frankfurt prior to the 2006–07 season. [1] His debut was a 2–0 win against 1. FC Schwalmstadt [2] in the Hessenliga. [3] He would finish the season in first place; losing only one match. [4] The only loss of the season came on matchday 30 against Viktoria Aschaffenburg. [2] The club's first-place finish meant promotion to the Regionalliga Süd. During the 2007–08 season, Frankfurt defeated the reserve team of 1860 München, drew against the reserve team of Bayern Munich, and recorded a pair of draws against the reserve team of VfB Stuttgart. [5] Again, Frankfurt finished in first place and were promoted. [6] During the 2008–09 season, Frankfurt played in the 2. Bundesliga and German Cup. [7] Frankfurt started the season with a 2–0 win against VfL Osnabrück in the German Cup. [7] However, they went winless in their first four league matches of the season.

[25] The streak ended after a 4–1 loss to 1860 Munich. [21] Ingolstadt finished the 2011–12 season in 12th place. [26] The following season, Ingolstadt finished in 13th place.
