Alfréd Schaffer (13 February 1893 – 30 August 1945) was a Hungarian international footballer.[3] He is recorded as having played for a record number of clubs: 21 in a 15-year career which lasted from 1910 to 1925.[4]
Career
[edit]Born in Budapest,[5][6] he joined MTK Budapest in 1915 and helped the club win three consecutive league titles,[3] and in the latter two of those seasons (1917–18 and 1918–19) he was the top European league goalscorer with 42 and 41 goals respectively.[7] Between April and September 1920 Schaffer played for FC Basel. He played one championship game and 19 test matches scoring a total of 27 goals.[8]
After his playing days ended he became a football manager, and coached clubs such as 1. FC Nürnberg (for whom he also played), A.S. Roma and Ferencváros.[9] In the beginning of 1940, Schaffer was coach at Rapid Bucharest, but left after only a few months to sign with A.S. Roma.[10][11]
He coached Hungary at the 1938 FIFA World Cup.[12]
He became manager of Roma in 1940, and led them to the 1941–42 Serie A title, before leaving the club in 1942.[6]
He died in Prien am Chiemsee, Bavaria, on 30 August 1945.[13]
