Head coach Máté Pinezits and assistant András Lednitzky are leaving MTK Budapest, the club announced on 3 November. József Kanta will temporarily lead preparations. The permanent successor will be announced later.

A former captain takes an interim assignment

MTK’s 13 October announcement still described Kanta as an assistant coach. The academy’s biographical page credits his playing career with 428 competitive appearances and 139 goals; his number 19 shirt was retired in 2021.

The announcement therefore places the intervening work with a familiar member of the staff. The club explicitly describes Kanta’s assignment as temporary and has not announced him as the permanent head coach.
