Bekő Balázs appointed Fehérvár FC head coach following Pető Tamás departure
Fehérvár FC has promoted assistant coach Bekő Balázs to head coach after the departure of Pető Tamás, with sports director Nikolics Nemanja confirming the internal appointment.
Fehérvár FC has appointed Bekő Balázs as its new head coach following the departure of Pető Tamás. The club announced Pető Tamás's exit on Monday, shortly before revealing his successor.
Bekő Balázs has been working within the club structure since summer 2025 as the U19 head coach and since November 2025 as the first team assistant coach. He described his recent focus as developing young players and integrating them into senior football rather than seeking head coaching roles.
Sports director Nikolics Nemanja explained that the club did not consider external candidates given the current circumstances. He noted that Bekő Balázs understood the situation and accepted the offer without significant hesitation.
The Hungarian Football Federation stated that the four-month suspension of U16 captain Umathum Roland was near the minimum required by disciplinary rules for pushing a referee.
The Hungarian Football Federation has announced ticket sale dates for the November match against Northern Ireland, with UEFA sanctions requiring careful fan behavior.
UEFA has assigned Hungarian referee Balázs Berke and an all-Hungarian officiating team to oversee the upcoming Europa League fixture involving Lech Poznań.
