Career as a player

Otto Keresztes began his career as an ice hockey player in Germany in the 1989/90 season with the 1st EHC Hamburg in the 2nd ice hockey Bundesliga . In the following three years he played for their league rivals ESC Wolfsburg and EHC Essen-West . In the 1993/94 season he was active for EC Kassel in the 2nd Bundesliga and the third division club Herner EV . The 1994/95 season began with the defender at EC Ratingen in the newly founded German Ice Hockey League . During the current season he went back to his old place of work to the mosquitos in the third division, where he stayed until 1997 and made it to the second division in the first year.

In the summer of 1997 Kerestes signed a contract with the second division club EV Duisburg , with which he had to accept relegation to the third division in 1998. It was there that he began the 1998/99 season before moving to the second division for Düsseldorfer EG . Keresztes remained in 1999 in the second division at EHC Neuwied , but after a short time he moved to the third-class league with the Dresdner Eislöwen . He stayed in the Saxon state capital until 2001, then returned to SC Mittelrhein for a year in Neuwied, before ending his active career in 2002 at the age of 38.

Career as a coach

From the 2003/04 season he was assistant coach at his last club, SC Mittelrhein-Neuwied, for two years . For the 2005/06 season he was the head coach of the EHF Passau Black Hawks in the Bavarian State League. With the Passauers he made the march through the Bayern League to the Oberliga. He was with the Black Hawks champions of the regional league in 2005, Bayern league champion 2007 and winner of the Bayernkrug .

During the 2007/08 league season he was dismissed due to lack of success and acute risk of relegation. In the summer of 2008, Keresztes was introduced as the new assistant coach by the second division club Dresdner Eislöwen . However, he led the training on an equal footing with head coach and manager Jan Tábor . For the first 12 games, Tábor took care of the storm and Keresztes took care of the defense. In October 2008, Tábor gave up the coaching position and limited himself to his post as manager or managing director. Otto Keresztes was promoted to head coach.

Due to the lack of performance of his team, he was relieved of his office at the beginning of January 2009 and was then assistant coach at the Eislöwen. At the end of the 2008/09 season, his contract was completely dissolved.

Between 2011 and 2013 he was the head coach of the U18 and U20 teams of the Romanian Ice Hockey Association and supervised them at the U18 Junior C World Championship in 2011 .
