life and career

After the Second World War , Csaknády attended the Hungarian College of Physical Education and graduated in 1950 with the state examination. He then worked as a high school teacher and youth coach. In 1955 he wrote the standard work The Hungarian Football School together with the successful coach Márton Bukovi .

After the suppression of the Hungarian popular uprising , he came to Germany via Vienna, where he started a career as a professional coach. His first position was the SpVgg Fürth in the Oberliga Süd , which he took over in 1957 and looked after for two seasons. He then looked after 1. FC Saarbrücken , which he led to the championship title in the Oberliga Südwest in 1961 . In the fight for the German championship, however, the team was eliminated in the preliminary round as bottom group. Csaknády left the club and accepted an offer from the second division side Stuttgarter Kickers , but was replaced four game days before the end of the season by Albert Sing , who secured the class for the relegation-threatened club.

In 1962 Csaknády took over the coaching position at AEK Athens and led the team straight away to the Greek championship title. In November 1963 he replaced Herbert Widmayer as coach of 1. FC Nürnberg , which was the first change of coach in the history of the newly founded Bundesliga . After a ninth place in the final table, he left the club, went on a study trip to French and English clubs and wrote the biography of his compatriot Béla Guttmann . In 1965 he returned to Nuremberg and was able to finish the season in sixth place. In the following season the club got into the relegation battle and Csaknády was replaced in November 1966 by the coach of the amateur team Jenő Vincze .

The coach returned to the site of his greatest success and won his second championship title with the AEK Athens in 1968. After that he worked for PAOK Saloniki . After a study trip to Brazil, he took over the relegation-threatened Racing Club de Strasbourg in February 1971 , but resigned his position two months later when the players did not show up for a joint excursion he had arranged. This was his last position in professional football, Csaknády came back to Germany and worked for the next 20 years as a high school teacher at the model school in Frankfurt / Main until his retirement .
