Zoltán Beke (born July 30, 1911 in Fehértemplom, Austria-Hungary , today Bela Crkva , Serbia , † March 9, 1994 ) was a Romanian football player and coach of Hungarian descent. He played a total of 89 games in the highest Romanian football league, Divizia A , and was also active in the Hungarian Nemzeti Bajnokság . Beke took part in the 1934 World Cup.
Career as a player
Beke started his career at Chinezul Timișoara . After Chinezul got into financial difficulties, he joined the local rival Ripensia Timișoara , who had a professional team, but was therefore not allowed to participate in the Romanian championship. This was only possible with the establishment of the Romanian professional league Divizia A in 1932. There Beke came on September 11, 1932 in the defeat against CFR Bucharest for his first assignment. In the 1930s, Romanian football was dominated by Ripensia, so that Beke was able to book four championships and two cup wins during this period. In 1939, however, he was seriously injured and was out for several months.
After Divizia A was discontinued due to the outbreak of the Second World War in 1941, Beke left Ripensia and joined CFR Turnu Severin as player-coach , with whom he won the Romanian Cup in 1943 and took part in the transition tournaments of the Romanian Football Association . When this could no longer be carried out in autumn 1943, Beke moved to Kolozsvári AC (today CFR Cluj) in the Hungarian Nemzeti Bajnokság , where the 1943/44 season was still played to the end. In 1944 he reached the final of the Hungarian Cup there, but lost it to Ferencváros Budapest .
After the end of World War II, Beke returned to CFR Turnu Severin before ending his career in 1947.
National team
Beke played a total of six games for the Romanian national football team , but scored no goal. He made his debut on August 25, 1935 against the German Reich . A year earlier, national coach Constantin Rădulescu had nominated him for the 1934 World Cup in Italy, where he was not used.
Career as a coach
Beke had learned the profession of engraver and silversmith , but after the end of his active career he devoted himself to a trainer. In 1948 he began as a youth coach at Știința Timișoara , but in between, together with Rudolf Bürger and Nicolae Kovacs, he also looked after the first team that made it to Divizia A in 1952. Between 1965 and 1970 he coached the lower class club IRA Timișoara before retiring from the world of football.
