Nándor Hidegkuti [ ˈnaːndor ˈhidɛkːuti ] (born March 3, 1922 in Budapest , Kingdom of Hungary ; † February 14, 2002 ibid) was a Hungarian football player and coach .
Career
Hidegkuti came from a German family whose name was Magyarized. His father's last name was still Kaltenbrunner ( Hungarian hideg 'cold' and Hungarian kút 'fountain'). Nándor Hidegkuti was a member of the Golden Elf ( Hungarian Aranycsapat ) of the Hungarian national football team , also called Magical Magyars , which after four years without defeat was subject to the German selection in the final of the 1954 World Cup . Two years earlier, in 1952 , he had become Olympic champion with Hungary . Since he did not get a regular place in the national team until he was 30, he was therefore called "The Old One". Internationally, Hidegkuti's star rose in the sensational 6-3 away win of the Hungarians against the English national team , to which he contributed three hits ( hat trick ). The Hungarian team was the first team from mainland Europe to be defeated by the English in a home game. As a major exception, alongside the numerous players from Honvéd-Budapest, Hidegkuti was a member of the MTK Budapest , with which he was Hungarian champion in 1951, 1953 and 1958 and cup winner in 1952.
Hidegkuti also became known for creating a new type of center forward who “sets the goals for himself”. Hidegkuti was 179 cm tall and weighed 74 kilograms, so he was rather small for a center forward. Of his 69 international matches, he won 53, scored 39 goals and often dropped back into midfield during the game. This had the consequence that the opponent (mostly a middle runner) stayed on him and so there were gaps in the opposing defense. Sepp Herberger was one of the few coaches who recognized Hidegkuti's outstanding role in the national team as crucial, even though he was publicly overshadowed by players like Puskás or Kocsis . In the 1954 World Cup final it was accordingly the central task of Werner Liebrich and Horst Eckel to cover him twice. Horst Eckel and Hidegkuti became friends after the game.
He later became a coach, initially at MTK in 1960. In 1961, Hidegkuti went to Italy and in the same year won the European Cup Winners' Cup with Fiorentina . In 1962 he was again with the Fiorentina in the European Cup final of the cup winners , but which one lost. After another stint at AC Mantua , he returned to Hungary in 1963 and became a coach at Győri ETO FC , with whom he became Hungarian champion and reached the semi-finals in the European Cup . Hidegkuti died of heart failure shortly before his 80th birthday. The MTK Hungária Budapest renamed its stadium in honor of Hidegkuti in Hidegkuti Nándor Stadium .
