Alexandru "Elek" Schwartz (born October 23, 1908 in Temesvar , Austria-Hungary , now Romania ; † October 2, 2000 in Haguenau , France ) was a soccer player in Romania and France and then worked as a coach . Among other things, he was from 1957 to 1964 Bondscoach the Dutch national team and coached later the Bundesliga team of Eintracht Frankfurt .
Players in Romania and France
As an active footballer, Schwartz first played in Timișoara, Romania. He then worked in France's professional league at FC Hyères (1932 to 1934), AS Cannes (1934 to 1936), Racing Strasbourg (1936 to 1938) and Red Star Olympique (1938/39).
Coaching career
Beginning in Monaco
He also completed his first coaching positions in France (AS Cannes 1948/49, AS Monaco 1950 to 1952 and Le Havre AC 1952 to 1953).
Senior league coach
In 1953 he was signed by Sportfreunde Hamborn 07 . After seventh place in the first year, Elek Schwartz led the club from the Duisburg district in its second season , as runner-up behind Wuppertaler SV , for promotion to the Oberliga West.
In 1955 he became a trainer at Rot-Weiss Essen , shortly after winning the German championship title. In the next two seasons, he led the team to a fourth and an eighth place in the league table.
National coach of the Netherlands
He then moved to the Dutch football association KNVB and took over the national team , which completed 49 international matches under his leadership.
However, that was at a time when Dutch football was nowhere near as important as it has been since the 1970s. A very negative event in his career was a 7-0 defeat by Germany in Cologne in 1959 . He remained in the office of bond coach until 1964 , in which he was succeeded by Denis Neville .
In total, the Dutch national team achieved 19 wins, 12 draws and 18 defeats under his leadership.
European Cup final with Benfica
In the 1964/1965 season he trained SL Benfica in Lisbon and won the national championship of Portugal with the team led by the legendary Eusébio .
In the quarter-finals of the European Cup , Benfica defeated Real Madrid in the quarter-finals and reached the final. There, the Lisbon Eagles had to admit defeat to the masters of catenaccio , Inter Milan, trained by Helenio Herrera , with a 1-0 defeat.
Bundesliga coach at Eintracht Frankfurt
From 1 July 1965 to 30 June 1968 trained Schwartz to succeed Ivica Horvat the Eintracht Frankfurt . He introduced the 4-2-4 system there. With the Hessians he reached the placements seven, four and six in the Bundesliga . In the European Exhibition Cities Cup , he led the Frankfurters to the semi-finals in 1966/67, where they lost to Dinamo Zagreb .
Failure with the dragons in Porto
In the 1969/70 season he coached FC Porto . Not only that the Dragons were eliminated in the first round of the Portuguese Cup and also did not get beyond the second round in the trade fair cup : with ninth place in the final table of the league, the northern Portuguese had their worst placement so far achieved.
Career finale in Munich and Strasbourg
In the 1972/73 season Schwartz was coach at TSV 1860 Munich , but he could not meet the expectations of returning the club from the second division back to the Bundesliga. He achieved a better result in the 1976/77 season when he was promoted to the first French division during his last engagement in the professional racing division of Strasbourg .
Then he was in the 1978/79 season trainer at the amateur club SR Haguenau , the predecessor club of today's FCSR Haguenau in Alsace. He also spent his old age in Haguenau.
