Jenő "Guriga" Vincze (born November 20, 1908 in Versec , Austria-Hungary ; † November 30, 1988 ) was a Hungarian soccer player and soccer coach who became vice world champion in 1938 and later worked as a supervisor in Switzerland and Germany for a long time.

Club career

Vinczes first club was the Debreceni MTE , from where he moved in 1925 to the larger city rivals Debreceni Vasutas SC . With the railway sports club in 1926 they won the district championship, but in the final round for the Hungarian championship title they were eliminated in the quarter-finals. In the same year professional football was introduced in Hungary and a professional team was founded in Debrecen with Bocskai FC Debrecen , which was classified in the second division and immediately made it to the first division. The right connector Vincze switched to the promoted team, who just managed to stay in the league in the first season. After that, however, the team experienced a significant rise and was able to assert itself in the top half of the table in the following years. The best place was a third place in the 1933/34 season, which meant the best final result of a provincial club until then. The club had already won the Hungarian Cup title in 1930 when Bástya Szeged was beaten 5-1 in the final . In the 1930/31 season Vincze was the Hungarian top scorer with 20 goals.

In 1934 he moved to Újpest FC , where Vincze would spend the rest of his playing career until 1944. Already in the first season , the championship title could be won with a team that also included László Sternberg , Stefan Auer and György Sz standencs . In 1939, under coach Béla Guttmann , another championship title followed, this time Vincze stormed alongside Gyula Zsengellér . As a result, the violets were also qualified for the Mitropacup , where they reached the final against city rivals Ferencvárosi FC with wins over Ambrosiana Inter Milan and Beogradski SK and remained successful with an overall result of 6: 3.

National team

Vincze had his first appearance in the national team in June 1930, when he ran up as a legal link in a 2-1 win against Austria in Budapest. Until his next assignment, however, it would take more than three years, only from 1934 he came to regular assignments in the national team. Vincze was part of the squad for the 1934 World Cup , where he played in the round of 16 against Egypt and also scored his first goal for Hungary in the 4-2 win.

In the following years he was a permanent member of the selection and was thus also part of the team that ended the prematurely canceled Nations Cup from 1936 to 1938 at the top of the table. In 1938 he took part in his second World Cup and was initially used in the quarterfinals against Switzerland . After he had not come to the train in the semi-finals, he was called up for the final instead of Géza Toldi . The game was lost 2: 4 against Italy . After that Vincze came only once in the national team, namely in a 2-0 win against Yugoslavia in November 1939. He played a total of 25 games and scored eight goals.

Coaching career

After the end of his active career, Vincze became a football coach in Hungary and, among other things, looked after his old club Újpest in the 1947/48 season. When Hungary was occupied by Soviet troops in 1956, he was on a trip abroad as the supervisor of a youth team and did not return to his homeland.

Rather, he continued his coaching career in the West and in 1957 took over the supervisory post at Servette FC Genève , where he replaced Karl Rappan . In 1959 he became a coach at FC Basel , where he worked until 1961. Then he took over the SpVgg Fürth in the Oberliga Süd , where he headed the team for three seasons. His next stop was 1. FC Nürnberg , where he first coached the amateur team, but in November 1966 he succeeded his compatriot Jenő Csaknády as coach of the Bundesliga team. In the four games that remained until the winter break, however, not a single victory and the team could not leave the relegation ranks. Vincze was replaced by Max Merkel at the turn of the year .

The Hungarian returned to the Regionalliga Süd and became a coach at 1. FC Schweinfurt 05 , where he kept the team in the top third of the table for four years, but never had to do with the promotion decision. In 1971 he moved to league competitor SpVgg Bayreuth , which he looked after for another three and a half years. He then looked after 1. FC Herzogenaurach (half a year) and ASV Herzogenaurach (one year).
