Borbély's 'Slovak Mentality' Will Lead Ferencváros to NB I Title, Says Ex-Coach Csank

Balázs Borbély is poised to lead Ferencváros to an NB I league title, according to former national team coach János Csank. Csank attributes Borbély's potential success to his "Slovak mentality," suggesting a disciplined approach will drive the team. Borbély's move from title-holders Győr to Ferencváros marks a significant shift in the league's dynamics.

Csank also lauded György Bognár, the long-serving coach of Paks, comparing his coaching style to "rock music from the old days." He praised the stability and consistency Bognár has brought to the club, noting the team's reliance on Hungarian players. However, Csank pointed out that Paks's ambition for higher finishes is hampered by financial limitations, making it less attractive to potential signings.

He is doing things well, he plays rock music from the old days.

The former coach highlighted Újpest as a team to watch this season, labeling them a "dark horse." With significant investment from MOL, expectations are high for the club under coach Pál Dárdai. Csank also commented on the departures of successful coaches Sergio Navarro from Debrecen and Nuno Campos from Zalaegerszeg, expressing uncertainty about how their replacements will fare.

Győr, having lost Borbély, faces challenges in the upcoming season. Csank believes the team has weakened and needs new signings to compete. Their early exit from Champions League qualifiers under new coach Efraín Juárez further underscores these difficulties. The team will look to rebound in the Conference League qualifiers.

Győr has weakened, to be honest, they need to sign players, that's the basic rule.
