Jozef Vengloš (born February 18, 1936, Ružomberok, Slovakia) is a Slovakian football coach with a wealth of coaching experience at the highest level, having coached in a number of countries. He has a Doctorate in Physical Education, as well as specialising in Psychology. He has been selected by FIFA on various occasions to lecture at the FIFA Academies throughout the world.

Venglos played as a midfielder for Slovan Bratislava 1954-1966. He later captained the team and played for Czechoslovakia. After his playing career was prematurely ended by hepatitis, he began his managerial career in Australia, first in club football, before going on to manage the national team. He then returned to Czechoslovakia and coached at club and Under-23 national level.

In 1973, Venglos was appointed as manager of Slovan Bratislava. During his three years in charge, he twice won the championship. He was also assistant manager of Czechoslovakia from 1973-1978. As assistant to Vaclav Jezek, he helped guide the team to victory in the 1976 European Championship, beating Holland in the semi-finals and West Germany in the Final.

As manager of Czechoslovakia from 1978 to 1982, Venglos led his side to the final of the 1980 European Championship, where they lost to West Germany. He also led them to the 1982 World Cup Finals, where they went out in the first round. He then coached Sporting Lisbon from 1983 to 1984, before coaching in Malaysia. In 1988, he was re-appointed to manage Czechoslovakia and took them to the quarter-finals of the 1990 World Cup.

Following this, he took over Aston Villa, being the first foreign manager to taken charge of a top division club in England. He left after one season after they finished just two places above the First Division relegation zone. He then moved to the Turkish league, where he managed Fenerbahçe from 1991 to 1993. He was the first manager of the Slovakian National Team from 1993 to 1995, before managing Oman 1995-1997.

Venglos was appointed as Head Coach of Celtic on July 17, 1998. Season 1998/99 saw his Celtic team in some excellent form, but they failed to qualify for the Champions League and lost the League Championship and Scottish Cup to Rangers. At the end of the season, Venglos left to take up a new position as a European technical adviser and as a scout for Celtic. He is most credited for signing fans' idol Ľubomír Moravčík during his season as manager, as well as inflicting a punishing 5-1 defeat on arch-rivals Rangers early in the campaign. He later managed Japanese team JEF United Ichihara for a season in 2002.
