Who is Hungary coach?
An Coppa Italia winner with Sampdoria during his playing career, Italian-Hungarian coach Marco Rossi has been in charge since 2018. In that time he has guided them to the EURO 2020 finals, where his side recorded impressive draws against France and Germany despite being eliminated at the group stage. In the last few years Hungary have consistently punched above their weight, and remained unbeaten during qualification for EURO 2024.
Hungary key player: Dominik Szoboszlai
Parallel to the meteoric rise of Hungary under Rossi has been that of Szoboszlai. Still only 23, Hungary's midfield maestro is fast approaching 50 international appearances. Always a game changer, he and Hungary are thriving under his captaincy. A dead-ball specialist and box-to-box midfielder who offers athleticism, intensity, work-rate, pace, vision, creativity, goals, assists and a steely sense of purpose, Szoboszlai has taken his game to another level as on-field leader of this tightly knit Hungary side.
Hungary one to watch: Milos Kerkez
Twenty-year-old Kerkez came through the Rapid Wien and Milan academies before a breakthrough campaign at AZ and a transfer to the Premier League, where he's had a fine first season with Bournemouth. At international level, Kerkez has quickly established himself as Hungary's first-choice left wing-back since debuting against Germany in September 2022. Tough and reliable defensively, Kerkez possesses great technique and vision, and is also a tireless attacking threat on the overlap.
How did Hungary qualify for EURO 2024?
Group G winners: P8 W5 D3 L0 F16 A7
After going 44 years without qualifying for a EURO finals between 1972, when they finished fourth, and 2016, Hungary have now made it to their third tournament in a row after a 2-2 draw in Bulgaria edged them over the line. They finished bottom of a tough group containing France, Germany and Portugal at EURO 2020 but did manage to pick up two points from their three games.
