Play career
Eno Konrad started playing as a midfielder at the Budapester AK club at the age of 14 years. At the age of 17 he moved to MTC , in which he debuted in the 1911/12 season. After two second places since 1912 and 1913, Konrad with the ITC was able to win the title of champion of Hungary , and in the same year Eno's brother Kalman came to the club. Since the beginning of the war , Konrad joined the armed forces as an officer, but this did not prevent to participate in the unofficial championship of Hungary in 1915, and in May of the same year he received his first call to the national team , in which he played a match with the Austrian national team , which ended with a score of 2: 1 in favor of the Hungarians. In the same 1915 Konrad was sent to the front, where he was captured by Russian troops.
After a two-year stay in captivity, Conrad returned to Hungary in 1918, which had already become an independent state, and again began to play football at ITC, where the English coach Jimmy Hogan was the head coach, and in the first season the club won the Hungarian championship. After the mass post-war riots in Budapest , a number of players went abroad, among these players was Conrad. Hugo Maysl , the head coach of the Vienna Amateuren , invited the Konrad brothers to his office, but since football in Austria was not yet professional, Maysl arranged for them to work on the city stock exchange . Konrad spent the first half of the season for the Ober St. Weiter club, as the Hungarian football authorities protested against the transfer of their players to Austrian teams without the permission of the clubs. It was only in the spring of 1920 that the consent of Hungary was obtained and Konrad became the player of Amateuren.
Both brothers immediately became the main "stars" of the team, in 1921 the Conrad club won its first Austrian title - the Austrian Cup , and three years later, Amateuren, for the first time in the club's history, won the national championship . After this winning season, football in Austria acquired the status of professional, and both brothers of Conrad, left without a team, tried to find a new club, they became, after a few months, “ First ”, giving a deposit of 90 million kroner, but Conrad's performances in “ First ” »Ended in 1925, after a severe injury of the meniscus , due to which he was forced to complete his football career.

In 1929, Konrad led the Hackoach (Vienna) , and then worked with the German Nürnberg , which he led in 1932 to the semifinals of the German Championship , where he lost to Bavaria , but at the end of the season Conrad was forced to leave Germany because of the publication of the newspaper Der Stürmer , which campaigned against a trainer of Jewish nationality.
From Germany, Conrad moved to Romania , re-heading Kinesul, and in the very first season he made the club a champion of Romania , then coached Zhenitsen and Austria, leading the team to victory in the Austrian Cup and the Mitropa Cup . In 1936, Konrad went to Italy to “ Triestina ”, moving the team to the 6th, the best in history, place in the Italian Championship , but he was forced to leave the Apennines because of the law prohibiting him to work in Italy, representatives of some races .
