Orth, György

Game career

György Ort began his career in the ILK team, which performed only in the youth championships of Budapest . The team did not last long, but managed to raise a number of players for Hungary, who became, in the future, players of the national team.

After playing in the Erzhebetvaroshi and Terezvaroshi teams, at the age of 15 Ort came to the Vashash club, where, starting with the youth squad, he played for the first team a few months later. Then Orth briefly left for Italy , where he played for Pisa , but less than a year later returned to Budapest and joined the MTK club, which in those years was coached by the Englishman Jimmy Hogan . In those years, the MTK team was excellent, they were played by such "stars" of 1910-20 as Imre Schlosser , Alfred Schaffer , Jozsef Brown and, of course, Orth. At first, Orth was defended, where he played next to Gyula Feldmann and Gyula Mandi , but in the 1919-1920 season, after leaving the Shaffer club, Orth was put on the attack and immediately began to score, according to the results of the season becoming the best sniper of the championship with 28 with balls, he repeated this “feat” for two more years, becoming the best Hungarian sniper, and the MTK, led by its scorer, won the Hungarian championship 8 times and was once the strongest in the country's cup, although in 1923 Ort played several matches in the Austrian Furste .

In September 1925 , the MTK played a friendly match in Vienna with the local Wiener Amater team. In this match, Orth received a severe knee injury when he faced Johann Tandler . For almost a year György did not play, healing the damage, and only in the autumn of 1926 he returned to duty. Despite the fact that Orth played for a long time on the football field, the injured knee bothered the Hungarian until the end of his career.

After MTK, Orth left the country speaking in France , then returned to Hungary to play several matches at Budaia 33 and Budai 11, but in these clubs, as in the Italian Messina and the German Nuremberg , Hort's role, for the most part, boiled down to serving as a coach, and he was a player in an insignificant number of matches.

Hungary Career

In the national team of Hungary, Hort made his debut at the age of 16 in November 1917 , where Austria opposed the Hungarians, the match ended with the score 2: 1. In the following years, Orth was always “in the cage” of the national team, almost always leaving the starting lineup, playing in the place of the center forward or midfielder. In 1924, the Hungarians took part in the 1924 Olympics , but confidently defeating Poland in the first round, in the second Hungary was defeated by the Egyptian team with a score of 0: 3, Ort played in both matches, but was no different. Ort played the last game for the national team against the Czechoslovak team in October 1927 , in which the Hungarians lost 1: 2. Altogether, Hort spent 32 matches for the Hungarian national team and scored 13 goals.

Coaching career

Ort received a coaching license in Germany at the Higher Academy of Berlin at the Department of Physical Education. Ort began his career as a coach in 1930, accepting the offer of the Chilean Football Union to lead the national team at the first world championship . Leading the Chileans, Ort became the second, following the Argentine national team coach Juan Jose Tramutola , a young coach in the history of world championships. Chileans won two out of three matches, but according to the then rules, only one team left the group and Argentina became that team . Orth, along with the team, returned to Chile, where he headed the local club, Kolo-Kolo . There Ortho granted Chilean citizenship.

In 1932, Ort returned to Hungary, where he played in Budai, and then stood on the coaching bridge of the Bochkai club, for which he even spent one match in the championship. Ort then left for Italy, where he coached the local teams Messina , L'Aquila , Pisa and Genoa .

In the fall of 1936, Orth came to Germany , suffocating under the yoke of fascism , to head the Nuremberg club. In the very first year, Ort won the Bavarian championship with the team and reached the final of the all-German championship, where he lost to Schalke 04 club 0: 2. The following year, Nuremberg won the Bavarian championship again, but in the German championship it took off already at the group stage. In the season 1938 - 1939, the club took only 5th place in the championship of Bavaria and Ort was forced to leave Nuremberg .

After working in two clubs of the Italian Serie B of Catania and Savona , Ort left for Chile in 1942 , where he coached the national team of the country. Then Ort worked in the Argentine club San Lorenzo and the Mexican club Guadalajara . Then, over the course of 15 years, he worked as a coach in America with various teams, including Boca Juniors and the national teams of Colombia , Peru and Mexico .

In the early 1960s, Ort returned to Europe to coach the Portuguese Sporting and Porto teams, a team that György Ort died on January 11, 1962 .
