Successes and stations

From 1970 to 1982 Mocsai played a total of 48 international matches for Hungary, including 20 for the senior national team and 28 for the juniors. While still active, in 1978, he began his coaching career. From 1985 to 1989 he was successful with Honvéd Budapest and with the Hungarian men's national team. In 1986, his team became vice world champions.

From 1989 to 1998 he was active as a trainer in Germany. With TBV Lemgo he was DHB Cup winner in 1995 and EHF Cup winner in 1996 . After seven successful years, he then moved to TuS Nettelstedt for the 1996/1997 season. There he won the City Cup in 1997, but was released again after 18 months.

He then became the coach of the Hungarian women's national team . In his six years as head coach the Hungarian women reached the 3rd place in 1998 and 5th place in the European Championships in 2002, the silver medal at the 2000 Olympics, was European Champion in 2000 and Vice World Champion in 2003.

A short but very successful interlude brought him back to Germany. On March 28, 2005, he became the coach of VfL Gummersbach . However, he was only able to exercise this position until the end of the season, as he had not received approval from the University of Budapest to extend his contract with Gummersbach. Unbeaten and with 17: 1 points, the club record, he had to end his engagement in Germany.

He then coached the women's team at Vasas SC for two years .
