Szabolcs Huszti (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈsɒbolt͡ʃ ˈhusti]; born 18 April 1983) is a Hungarian professional football coach and a former player. He is the de facto manager of Fehérvár, even though Gábor Toldi formally holds that position.[2] He was well known for his dribbling, pace, passing and goal scoring ability from midfield.
Huszti began his professional career at the Hungarian club Ferencváros. A short stint with Metz followed, before he was signed by Bundesliga club Hannover 96 for £210,000 in 2006. He scored six goals in his first season, the most memorable coming in a shocking 1–0 victory away at Bayern Munich. In 2009, he moved to Zenit to replace Arsenal-bound Andrey Arshavin. After several spells in Germany and China, Huszti returned to Hungary where he retired as part of Fehérvár in 2020.
He was first called up for the Hungary national team during his time on loan at Sopron, and made his senior international debut in April 2004. Huszti was suspended from the team in 2007 after walking out of a training camp ahead of two UEFA Euro 2008 qualifiers. In 2008, he made his comeback for his country in a 1–1 draw against Slovakia. He retired from international football in 2010, as he wanted to focus on his club career and that he did not like the atmosphere around the national side.
