There is limited information available about Özdeş career as a football player. He primarily played for different teams in the local amateur league of his home province, Manisa. In the later stages of his career, he spent around one and a half seasons playing for Manisa Mensucatspor.
After leaving the U-19 coaching role, Özdeş briefly led Manisaspor in the top-tier league but stepped down due to declining performance in the 2013–14 season. He then coached Manisaspor in the second division, securing a 7th place finish. Özdeş signed with Gençlerbirliği in May 2014 but departed shortly, joining Balıkesirspor in December 2014. Unfortunately, his tenure was short-lived, and he resigned in April 2015. Özdeş later coached Kasımpaşa, leaving in October 2018 due to role changes. He briefly coached Göztepe in early 2019 and returned to Kasımpaşa in July 2019. Subsequently, he was appointed as the head coach of Yeni Malatyaspor in January 2020, only to part ways in March 2020.
On 4 April 2023, Kasımpaşa announced Özdeş's return as head coach, filling the position left by Selçuk İnan. Özdeş had previously managed the team twice. The club expressed excitement about his return and their commitment to achieving success together.
Tactics
Özdeş prefers to play in a 4–5–1 formation, with the defensive players staying deep when the opponent has the ball, while the midfielders apply pressing. Upon winning the ball, there is a quick transition, with Özdeş relying on fast wingers who often move into the opponent's penalty area during attacks to create a numerical advantage. The striker often acts as a 'False Nine,' dropping back to evade the marking of the opposing defenders.
