János Csank (born 27 October 1946, in Ózd, Hungary) is a Hungarian former goalkeeper and football manager.[1]
Club coaching career
[edit]Csank won the National-Championship twice, first in 1994 with Vác FC-Samsung and in 2001 in charge of Ferencváros.[2]
He resigned from Ferencváros in April 2008 after a 2–2 draw against Makó left Fradi in third place, eight points behind Nemzeti Bajnokság II (Eastern Group) leaders Kecskeméti TE.[3]
International coaching career
[edit]Csank was manager of the Hungary national football team between April 1996 and November 1997. During this time, Hungary advanced from the World Cup qualification group but suffered a devastating 1–7, 5–0 defeat against FR Yugoslavia.
After the losses against Yugoslavia, Csank resigned from his position and was followed by Bertalan Bicskei.[4]
Personal
[edit]Csank is recognizable for his dark humor. At half-time in the losing match against the Yugoslavian team, when a reporter asked him what he was going to say to the players, he replied: "Surely not to keep it up!".[5] At the end of this match, at the interview he said that the major cause of the loss was, "I didn't know that some of my players were so lame."[6]
