Lajos Czeizler (born October 5, 1893 in Heves , Austria-Hungary , † May 6, 1969 ) was a Hungarian football coach . With a total of eleven titles, he is one of the most successful in his field. Among other things, he coached the Italian national team from 1953 to 1954.

Career

In 1909 Lajos Czeizler moved to the capital Budapest to learn the banking trade. There he joined the MTK , which was on the way to becoming the top club in Hungarian football. From that era, the names of coaches like Jimmy Hogan and of players like Alfréd "Spezl" Schaffer , Imre Schlosser and the Konrád brothers will forever sound good. Czeizler never made it beyond the reserves and after the war he played several games as a defender for Germania Schwechat in Vienna from 1919 .

Soon afterwards his coaching career began. His compatriot Imre Pozsonyi made him his assistant when he took over the Polish team KS Cracovia in 1921 . The team won the first Polish championship in the same year . In 1922 Czeizler was the head coach of local rivals Jutrzenka Kraków . This did not affect the friendship with Pozsonyi. From 1923 to 1926 he was the coach of the larger ŁKS Łódź , from where it is said that he led teams I, II and III to championships. The latter two are probably youth teams. Czeizler was very involved in youth work, from which eventually player Antoni Gałecki , one of the great Polish footballers of his era, emerged. Czeizler also set up a table tennis department at the club, which remained active until well after the Second World War.

Then he moved to Italy , where he coached the second division teams of Udinese and CA Faenza and the youth of Lazio Rome .

He had his greatest successes in Sweden when he won five championships (1943 and 1945 to 1948) and two trophies (1943 and 1945) with IFK Norrköping . When he led Norrköping to the championship in 1948, he was 54 years, eight months and one day old, making him the oldest coach to ever achieve this title - a record that still stands today.

After his time in Sweden, Czeizler returned to Italy, where he led AC Milan to the championship in 1951 , the club's first in 44 years, and to win the Coppa Latina with a 5-0 final victory over France's OSC Lille . But when he was unable to repeat this success the next year (2nd place in Serie A and therefore no participation in the Coppa Latina), he was fired.

From 1953 on, Czeizler coached the Italian national team , which he also accompanied through the 1954 World Cup in Switzerland .

After the World Cup, he worked at Sampdoria Genoa (1954–1957) and at AC Florence (1957–1959 and 1960–1961). In the middle of the 1960/61 season, Czeizler left Italy. In the 1963-64 season he led Benfica to double of championship and Cup in Portugal .
