Cihat Arman (1915, Istanbul – May 14, 1994 Istanbul), was a Turkish football goalkeeper and manager.

He started playing football in his age of 15 and debuted in Ankaragücü. In 1936, Arman transferred to the Istanbul team Güneş. After the closure of this club, he moved to Fenerbahçe, where he uninterrupted played 308 games. He was nicknamed the "Flying goalkeeper". Him flying with his yellow shirt was the inspiration behind "The Yellow Canaries" ("Sarı Kanaryalar" in Turkish), the nickname for Fenerbahçe.

During the World War II years, international competitions were rarely held. So, Arman played only 13 games with the Turkey national football team during this time. After 1949, he served as the goalkeeper and captain. He also coached the Turkey national football team and qualified for the 1950 World Cup trashing Syria 7-0 but Turkey withdrew due to financial problems.

After Arman retired from active sport in 1950, he coached the Istanbul teams Kasımpaşa, Istanbulspor, Yeşildirek, Beşiktaş and the national team (1950, 1957, 1958 and 1959).

Arman (November 17, 1928 – October 22, 2005) was a French-born American artist. Born Armand Pierre Fernandez in Nice, France, Arman is a painter who moved from using the objects as paintbrushes ("allures d'objet") to using them as the painting itself. He is best known for his "accumulations" and destruction/recomposition of objects.

Arman's father, Antonio Fernandez, an antiques dealer in Nice, was also an amateur artist, photographer, and cellist. From his father, Arman learned oil painting and photography. After receiving his bachelor's degree in philosophy and mathematics in 1946, Arman began studying at the École Nationale des Arts Décoratifs in Nice. He also started judo at a police school in Nice where he met Yves Klein and Claude Pascal. The trio bonded closely on a subsequent hitch-hiking tour around Europe.

Completing his studies in 1949, Arman enrolled as a student at the École du Louvre in Paris, where he concentrated on the study of archaeology and oriental art. In 1951, he became a teacher at the Bushido Kai Judo Club in Madrid. During this time he also served in the French military, completing his tour of duty as a medical orderly during the Indo-China War.
