Career
Antonio Vojak began his career in 1921 in his hometown, which at the time was part of Italy. His club Grion Pula played accordingly in the Italian league system. In 1924, the striker moved to the top tier of Lazio Rome , where he scored seven goals in nine games, but failed with the Romans in the semi-finals of the Southern League at US Anconitana .
Vojak had passed a test of talent that led to his being signed by Juventus Turin . After Edoardo Agnelli took over the presidency, the Turin team failed twice in the group phase to achieve the declared goal of winning the championship, so it was decided to strengthen the team again, including the storm duo Ferenc Hirzer and Antonio Vojak. The two turned out to be the reinforcement they were looking for and Juventus won the group and qualified for the final of the Northern League against FC Bologna . In the away game, Juventus drew 2-2 thanks to two Hirzer goals, the home game ended 0-0. This made a play-off in Milan necessary, which Turin won 2-1 thanks to a goal from Vojak. The finals were clearly won against Alba Rome with an overall result of 12: 1.
Vojak stayed with Juventus for three more seasons and scored a total of 46 goals in the championship, but did not win another title. In 1929, a uniform all-Italian Serie A was held for the first time and Vojak left the Turin team, where his younger brother Oliviero was now playing and moved to SSC Napoli . In a total of six seasons with the southern Italians, he should become a club legend. With Attila Sallustro he formed a powerful storm duo and with 102 goals he still holds the club record in Serie A. With two third places, the best final positions in the championship up to that point could be achieved.
After Vojak had already played five times in the B national team and scored three goals, he made his debut in the A national team in February 1932 in a 3-0 win against Switzerland in the European Cup of National Football Teams . However, this was his only assignment in the Squadra Azzurra .
In 1935 he left Naples, and played one season at Genoa and then promoted in the A-series Lucchese . He ended his active career after two seasons with the third-class Dopolavoro Empoli .
During the 1939/40 season Vojak replaced Adolfo Baloncieri as coach of SSC Napoli and looked after the club until 1943. However, he could not prevent relegation to Serie B in 1942.
