societies

Konrád began his career as a football player at the age of 18 in Budapest with the Magyar Testgyakorlók Köre . Together with his brother Jenő Konrád , he soon advanced to become one of the leading players in the Hungarian series champions. With great media attention, Hugo Meisl directed the Konrád brothers to Austria to join the Vienna amateur sports club . The dribbles of Kálmán Konrád soon shaped the technical game of the "Violets" and led them to their first title win: victory in the 1921 Cup final over the Wiener Sport-Club and lost 1: 2 in the final to Wiener AF the following year . Under the leadership of Kálmán Konrád, the "Veilchen" won the championship for the first time in 1924 and the national cup three times by 1926 .

In 1926 Konrád moved to the United States to join the Brooklyn Wanderers , but returned to Europe a year later and ended his career with his parent club MTK Budapest in 1928.

National team

Konrád played eleven international matches for the Hungarian national team from 1914 to 1928 and scored two goals. His debut in Vienna on November 8, 1914, he crowned the 2-1 victory over Austria with his first goal, the 1-0 goal in the 59th minute. He played his last international match - nine years after his last appearance in the national jersey - on May 6, 1928 in a 5-5 draw against Austria in Budapest .

Coaching career

His first coaching position was in Germany at FC Bayern Munich , which he was in charge of from 1928 to 1930 in the Bavarian District League, Southern Bavaria Group . He then moved to Switzerland and took in the season 1930/31 to FC Zurich . In the two seasons in which he was responsible for SK Slavia Prague , he won the championship in both 1934 and 1935. After a year without coaching, he took over the capital club Rapid Bucharest in Romania and led him to victory in the cup in 1937 ; in the championship he reached second place with the team . From 1937 to 1939 he trained in Brno , the resident Czechoslovak SK Zidenice , with whom he achieved the best placement in the championship with third place in 1938.

In 1939 he came to Sweden , a country that he visited with the Viennese amateurs in the early 1920s, where other Hungarian coaches , including Lajos Czeizler , Istvan Wampetits , and József Nagy, were instrumental in modernizing local football. His first club was the third division Örebro SK , which he led to the second highest division in 1941 and held it in the following season. For five seasons, from 1942 to 1947, he coached Åtvidabergs FF , with whom he was second division champion in 1945, but lost 3-0 in the qualifying game for the Allsvenskan against Djurgårdens IF. From the 1947/48 season he coached Malmö FF , with whom he won the championship in 1949 and 1950 . With Råå IF , the district club from Helsingborg , he reached a highly regarded second place behind Malmö FF in the 1950/51 season as a first division newcomer. His last club was the Linköping football department of the BK Derby , which he looked after until the end of the 1954/55 season.
