Balazs Nyeki, the head coach of FTC Telekom, has quickly risen to prominence as one of Hungary’s most accomplished coaches. Since taking over the helm of FTC Telekom, Nyeki has achieved incredible success, securing all five possible trophies: two Hungarian Cups, one national championship, a European Super Cup, and, most notably, the Champions League title. Remarkably, his team suffered only one defeat throughout this dominant run.
Nyeki’s meticulous approach to the game, combined with his ability to develop talent and foster team cohesion, have solidified Ferencvaros’ position as a powerhouse in both Hungarian and European water polo.
His achievements have earned him a spot on this year’s Total Player Expert Jury.
