László Bölöni (born March 11, 1953 in Târgu Mureş ) is a former Romanian football player and current coach . He belongs to the Hungarian minority in Transylvania . In the Romanian sports press he was occasionally given the first name Ladislau . He has been coaching the Belgian first division club KAA Gent since August 2020 .

Career as a player

Bölöni began playing the soccer game in 1967 with Chimica Târnăveni , for which he played his first games in Divizia C at the age of 16 . In 1970 he moved to AS Armata Târgu Mureş in Divizia B , with whom he rose to Divizia A at the end of the season . There he made his debut on August 22, 1971 in the game against Farul Constanța . Bölöni made a significant contribution to the fact that ASA was able to qualify for the UEFA Cup three times in a row in the mid-1970s , even if the club was eliminated there in the first round. In 1984 he moved to Steaua Bucharest , where he was able to celebrate his greatest sporting successes. In total, he scored 86 goals in 484 games in Divizia A and 3 goals in 21 European Cup games. During the winter break of the 1987/88 season , he received clearance for foreign countries and moved to Racing Jet Brussels . He stayed there for exactly one year and moved to the second French division for US Créteil during the winter break in 1988/89 . The last move to US Orléans followed in the summer of 1989 , where he ended his career as a player in 1992.

National team

Bölöni played his first international match on June 4, 1975 when he was substituted on for the qualifier for the 1976 Summer Olympics against Denmark . Since this game, as well as three others in which Bölöni played a part and scored a goal, was subsequently removed from Romania's international match record by FIFA in 1999, his appearance in the Balkan Cup against Greece on September 24, 1975 is now considered an official international debut. For the Romanian national soccer team he scored 24 goals in 104 games until 1988, where he wore the captain's armband in 23 games. At the European Championship in 1984 , he replaced Cornel Dinu as the Romanian record national player. It was only overtaken by Gheorghe Hagi in 1997 . He also played an international match for the Romanian U21 and 12 for the U23 national football team.

Career as a coach

From 1994 to July 2000 Bölöni was assistant coach at AS Nancy . In July 2000 he returned to Romania and replaced Emerich Jenei as national coach. He coached the Romanian national team in 13 international matches until he was replaced in July 2001 by Gheorghe Hagi , who had just ended his playing career. Between 2001 and 2003 Bölöni was the coach of Sporting Lisbon , where he won the championship and the trophy in his first year. However, his contract was not renewed in the course of the second, less successful, year and so he then worked very successfully for three years at Stade Rennes (including participation in the UEFA Cup ) and switched to league rivals AS Monaco in the summer of 2006 , where he worked in October 2006 because of the bad table status (19th place) was released early. On June 28, 2007, Bölöni signed a one-year coaching contract with Al-Jazira Club in the United Arab Emirates . In June 2008 he took over from Michel Preud'homme at Standard Liège and was Belgian champion in his first season with the club. After disappointing results in the 2009/10 season, he resigned from his coaching position on February 10, 2010. On May 28, 2010, he signed a one-year contract with the master of the United Arab Emirates , Al-Wahda . This was terminated prematurely in September 2010. In early January 2011 he was signed by the French first division club RC Lens , but could not prevent its relegation to Ligue 2 . After the end of the season he signed a contract with PAOK Thessaloniki in the Greek Super League on June 9, 2011 . In May 2012 he terminated his contract early and in the summer of 2012 he became the coach of the Qatari team Al-Khor SC . After three years he moved to Ittihad FC in Saudi Arabia. He was released there at the end of 2015.

He returned to Belgium for the 2017/18 season and was hired by Royal Antwerp as a coach. In the 2018/19 season , Antwerp reached fourth place under him in the play-off round and, after winning the play-off final, was eligible for the second qualifying round for the 2019/20 Europa League . As a result of the exclusion of KV Mechelen from the Europe League, the club advanced to the third qualifying round, won it against Viktoria Pilsen and was only eliminated in the play-off against AZ Alkmaar . In the 2019/20 season, Antwerp was in second place when the season was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic . Bölöni also led the club to the cup final . Nevertheless, the club decided in mid-May 2020 not to extend the contract that was running out at the end of the season.

On August 20, 2020, he was hired as the new coach at league competitor KAA Gent and received a contract with a term of two years.
