Player career

societies

Born in Pressburg ( Kingdom of Hungary ), today's Bratislava in Slovakia , in 1893 , Schaffer was a member of the MTK Budapest first team from the age of 21 to 26 . From 1914 to 1916 there was no league operation due to the First World War , so that it only made its premiere in the senior division in the 1917/18 season and was top scorer with 42 goals, as was the case in the following season with 26 goals.

Schaffer is considered the first professional football player on the European continent, as he - remarkable for that time - selected the clubs according to the earning potential.

So he ended up in Germany, where he worked as a center forward for 1. FC Nürnberg in the 1919/20 season and was in charge of training during this time. He made a special contribution to the promotion of the young Hans Kalb , who later led the club to five German championships as a game designer and was captain of the senior national team . In 1920 he played for FC Basel for a short time before he played for FC Wacker Munich from 1920/21 to 1921/22 , with whom he won the southern German championship in 1922 and advanced to the semi-finals of the German championship , but with 0: 4 was lost to Hamburger SV . In the same year he played briefly for Sparta Prague and in 1923 again for MTK Budapest, for which he played in several friendly matches. From 1923 to 1925 he played for the Viennese amateur sports club , with which he won the Austrian championship in 1924 . He played his last season as an active soccer player in 1925/26 for Sparta Prague.

National team

Schaffer played 14 international matches for the national team in four years in which he scored 16 goals; the opponent was always Austria's choice . He crowned his debut on November 7, 1915, with three goals in the 6-2 victory in Budapest. On November 5, 1916, he saw in Vienna, when the score was 3: 3, in the 70th minute, the red card , whereupon the game had to be stopped. His last international match was on April 6, 1919 in Budapest in a 2-1 win; it was the fourth international match in which he failed to score.

Coaching career

After he had already trained as a player for 1. FC Nürnberg in 1919/20, DSV Munich was again a German club, which he looked after after his active time as a footballer in 1926/27. His next stop, in 1927/28, was FC Wacker Munich, with whom he again advanced to the semi-finals of the German championship , which this time was just lost 2-1 to Hertha BSC . For one season each he was the coach of FK Austria Wien and Berliner SV 1892 , before he was again responsible for FC Wacker Munich and 1. FC Nürnberg for two seasons each. From 1935 to 1937 and from 1939 to 1940 he was a trainer at MTK Budapest and Rapid Bucharest. Together with Károly Dietz , Schaffer coached the Hungarian national soccer team at the 1938 World Cup , where it reached the final and was only defeated there by defending champion Italy. In 1940 he moved to Italy and at the end of its second season, 1941/42 , led AS Roma to the first championship in the club's history. He then served for Ferencváros Budapest active before in the season 1944/45 to Bayern Munich in the sports category Bayern supervised.

death

On August 30, 1945, a corpse was found on a train at Prien am Chiemsee train station (75 kilometers from Munich, where Schaffer trained FC Bayern Munich), whose death had occurred a few hours earlier. A football fan identified the body as Alfréd Schaffer. The cause of death could not be determined. Schaffer was buried in Prien.
