About Gyula Lóránt

Gyula Lóránt (born Gyula Lipovics, 6 February 1923 – 31 May 1981) was a Hungarian footballer and manager of Croatian descent. He played as a defender and midfielder for, among others, UTA Arad, Vasas SC, Honvéd and the Hungary national team. Regarded as one of the greatest Hungarian players of all time, Lóránt was a prominent member of the legendary Hungarian national team during the 1950s, known as the Mighty Magyars, which also included Ferenc Puskás, Zoltán Czibor, Sándor Kocsis, József Bozsik and Nándor Hidegkuti. After retiring as a player, Lóránt pursued a managerial career, serving in various clubs like Honvéd, Kaiserslautern, Köln, Eintracht Frankfurt, Bayern Munich, Schalke 04 and PAOK Thessaloniki among others. Kádár consented and Lóránt responded with a solid performance as Hungary won the game 4–3 on 16 October 1949.
