Gusztáv Sebes [ ˈgustaːv ˈʃɛbɛʃ ] (born January 22, 1906 in Budapest as Gusztáv Scharenpeck; † January 30, 1986 ibid) was a Hungarian football player and football coach , best known for his work with the Golden Elf .
biography
The son of a shoemaker was a relatively successful player in the 1920s, including at Vasas SC (1920–1924) and MTK (1927–1940 and 1945) in Budapest.
After finishing his active career, Sebes started a successful career as a football coach. In 1949 he was appointed Hungarian national coach, and from 1948 to 1951 he was together with Zsigmond Ábrai President of the Magyar Olimpiai Bizottság (MOB), the National Olympic Committee of Hungary. In a short time, Sebes formed a completely new national team, which was recognized worldwide as Aranycsapat , the " Golden Elf ". He recruited the national players almost exclusively from the two Budapest clubs MTK and Honvéd . In terms of tactics, he mainly relied on increased group dynamics, in which all players could switch to attacking or defensive play at the same time without slowing down the flow of the game. In principle, every player should be able to play in all positions. To the confusion of the opponent, the third striker often fell far behind the other two, and even the goalkeeper Gyula Grosics sometimes acted as the fourth defender.
Olympic gold 1952
In 1952, the team around Sebes achieved their greatest international success: At the Olympic Games in Finland, Aranycsapat won the gold medal with a victory over Yugoslavia. The following year they achieved another sporting sensation when they outclassed England in front of the home crowd at the Wembley Stadium with a 6-3 victory. For over thirty years, Sebes' side led the longest-undefeated teams with 27 wins in 31 games.
European Cup of the National Football Teams 1948 to 1953
In 1953 Hungary finally won the Central European Cup . For this, Hungary played against some other Central European nations over a period of 5 years and finally scored the most points, which led to the Cup victory in 1953.
Vice world champion 1954
At the Football World Cup in 1954 , the team led by Sebes, who also served as Hungary's deputy sports minister, was the favorite. But while they defeated Germany 8-3 in the first group game, they lost 3-2 in the German selection in the final. The hour of birth of the miracle of Bern also marked the turning point of Sebes' coaching career. Although his team won the next 18 games in a row, they could not win any major international tournaments. After a draw and three defeats, Sebes resigned as national coach in 1956.
In the following years, Sebes continued to work as a sports official and trainer, u. a. at Budapest Honvéd FC (1960–1961) and from 1963 to 1965 for the last time as national coach.
Sebes died on January 30, 1986 at the age of 80 in his hometown of Budapest.
