Anton Malatinský

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anton Malatinský (January 15, 1920 – December 1, 1992) was a Slovak football player and coach. He was a technically disposed midfielder and playmaker. As a coach, he was regarded as a good strategist.

He played for Trnava, Slovan Bratislava, and Handlová. He played in 219 league matches and scored 79 goals. He was capped 6 times for Slovakia and 10 times for Czechoslovakia. He was a participant in the 1954 FIFA World Cup.

Although a good player, Malatinský became more famous as a coach. While still playing football at a high level, he started training at the youth level. In 1948 he led the junior team of Trnava to the championship of the country in their rank.

An injury to his knee in 1956 forced him to conclude his playing career and he became fully engaged with coaching. Teams he coached include Spartak Trnava (1956-60, 1963-68, 1971-76), Admira Wacker (1968-71), and ADO Den Haag (1976-78).
