Victor Zvunka
Victor Zvunka (born November 15, 1951 in Le Ban-Saint-Martin , Lorraine ) is a former French football player and current coach of Hungarian descent. He is one of not even 20 footballers in France who have won the traditional national cup both as a player and as a coach.
Career as a player
society
Victor Zvunka, whose much older brothers Georges (* 1937) and Jules (* 1941) were also professional footballers, began playing at Metz in 1970 . In 1973 he moved to Olympique Marseille , where he spent his most successful time. He followed his brother Jules as a central defender at Marius Trésor's side , who at that time moved from the field to the coaching bench. With Marseille, where he stayed until 1981, Victor Zvunka won the national cup competition in 1976 . After OM's relegation to the second division (1980), without the immediate re-promotion, Zvunka joined Stade Laval in 1981 for two years ; Racing Paris then followed as the last station until 1985, where he worked as a player- coach at the club then renamed Matra Racing 1 from 1984 . Overall, he has made 368 first division matches at these four clubs , in which he scored eight goals.
National team
In March 1975, the "sober and strong headed" defender came in a 2-0 victory over Hungary in the Prinzenparkstadion for his only appearance in the senior French team .
Coaching
He has worked as a trainer since the mid-1980s, and it wasn't until the early 21st century that he achieved nationwide successes. In 2004 , Zvunka had led the second division LB Châteauroux to the French Cup final as a coach , but his team was defeated by Paris Saint-Germain . Since Paris took part in the Champions League as runners-up , Zvunka took part with Châteauroux in the first round of the UEFA Cup , but was eliminated from Club Bruges . Five years later he even won the French Cup , again with a second division team ( EA Guingamp ). As a result, his team played the following season in the qualification for the Europa League , in which the Bretons were eliminated in the barrage against Hamburger SV . In 2010 Guingamp even had to enter the third division . From February to May 2011 Victor Zvunka then worked for third division club AS Cannes .
