Antonín Puč (born May 16, 1907 in Jinonice , Austria-Hungary , today Prague , Czech Republic , † April 18, 1988 in Prague) was a Czechoslovak football player and coach .

society

Via Čechie Smíchov and SK Smíchov, Puč came to Slavia Prague in 1925 as an 18-year-old striker and immediately fought for a regular place. In his first season he scored 16 goals. In 1927 and 1928/29 he was the top scorer in the league with 13 goals each.

With the commitment of Vlastimil Kopecký in 1932 Puč had to switch to the left wing, which initially meant a major change for the center forward. Nevertheless, the international scored 17 goals in the 1933/34 season. Afterwards, however, younger players began to prevail more and more often, so that Puč was no longer used regularly. In the summer of 1938 he moved to Viktoria Žižkov , where he scored eleven goals in 20 games in two seasons. Puč ended his career in the early 1940s with his former club SK Smíchov.

With a total of 123 first division players, Puč is a member of the ligových kanonýrů club .

National team

Puč was next to Oldřich Nejedlý the best attacker of the Czechoslovak national team . He scored 34 goals in 60 international matches - a record that was only exceeded by Jan Koller in 2005 .

At the soccer world championship in Italy in 1934 he was runner-up, in the final against Italy he scored the interim lead for Czechoslovakia in the 76th minute. At the end of his career, he was in the squad for the 1938 World Cup in France .

Trainer

Puč trained the SK Nusle in 1943/44 , who had to be relegated from the House of Lords in last place. In the 1945/46 season he coached Čechie Karlín , the team also rose from the top division.
