Gyula Lázár (born January 24, 1911 in Füzesgyarmat , Békés County , Austria-Hungary ; † February 27, 1983 in Budapest , Hungary ) was a Hungarian football player and football coach who won five championship titles and the Mitropacup with Ferencváros in the 1930s and 40s and with the Hungarian national team in 1938 became vice world champion .

Club career

Outside runner Lázár made his debut in the top Hungarian league in 1930 for Ferencvárosi FC. There he quickly won a regular place next to György Sárosi (who was not yet playing in the storm at the time) and Antal Lyka in the runner row of the green-whites. In 1932, coach Zoltán Blum 's team was able to win the championship without giving up a point. In the following season they had to be content with third place, but in addition to winning the cup with an 11-1 victory over Újpesti FC , Lázár was also able to hold himself harmless by being voted Player of the Year.

The slim and light-footed outside runner developed into one of the best cover players in Hungary, who knew how to convince with his game intelligence and elegance as well as his workload and earned the nickname Tanár úr ( Mr. Teacher ) among the audience . The next championship title followed as early as 1934, but in the Mitropacup the Franzensstädter failed in the semifinals at AGC Bologna . The next year Lázár reached the final with Ferencváros in the same competition, there the Prague Sparta proved to be too strong.

The great international success did not materialize until 1937, when the team, where Lázár now formed the cover with Gyula Polgár and Béla Magda , reached the Mitropacup finals with victories over Slavia Prague , First Vienna FC and FK Austria Wien and there the SS Lazio beat by a total of 9-6. Also in the championship it went again for the team from the IX. District of Budapest and it won three titles in the next four years.

In 1943 he ended his career at Ferencváros and still worked for the Szentlőrinci AC and the Herminamezei AC .

National team

Lázár's abilities were not long hidden from those responsible for the national selection and so he made his debut in April 1931 in a 6-2 victory over Switzerland in the Nations Cup . After that, he was in the left runner position for the next few years to the solid base of the national team and belonged, among other things, to the team that defeated the English 2-1 in Budapest in 1934.

Also at the 1934 World Cup , Lázár was set and played both games of the Hungarians, which failed in the quarter-finals to Austria . In October 1936 he scored his only goal in a 2-1 win against Romania .

At the 1938 World Cup he was in the unfamiliar position of the right runner in the opening game against the Dutch East Indies , but switched back to the left side from the quarterfinals. There he also played the final against Italy , which was lost 4-2.

Even after the World Cup, he continued to play in the national team, now often at the side of Béla Sárosi , before he played his 49th and last game in April 1941 with a 7-0 win against Germany .

Coaching career

Lázár was part of the coaching staff of the Egyptian national team , which, under the leadership of his compatriot Pál Titkos, won the 1959 African Cup . In the 1960s he worked in Greece.
