Balázs Dinka (born 3 November 1976) is a Hungarian football manager and former professional player who is currently the assistant manager for Megyei Bajnokság I club Rákospalota.

Club career

Dunakeszi

On 16 May 1999, Dinka won the third division title with Dunakeszi following a 0–0 away draw against Gyula.[1]

Together with six other players, they agreed with the club that they could transfer to any team for free in exchange for the non-payment of their salaries.[2]

Rákospalota

Tiszaújváros were reported to be interested in signing Dinka, but he eventually signed for Nemzeti Bajnokság II club Rákospalota in mid-2000.[2]

He made his Nemzeti Bajnokság I debut for REAC on 29 October 2005, replacing Csaba Földvári in the 52nd minute of a 1–0 home win against Sopron, which was also the first match won by the club in the top division.[3]

On 22 August 2007, he scored his first goal for the club in a 5–1 Ligakupa home win against Kaposvár.[4] Dinka scored his first and only goal in a league match for REAC in a 3–2 home Nemzeti Bajnokság II loss against Szolnok on 13 June 2010.[5]

Managerial career

Rákospalota

Dinka in 2024

On 16 October 2015, Dinka started to manage Rákospalota in the Nemzeti Bajnokság III, with the goal to avoid relegation.[6] Following the appointment of László Balogh ahead of the 2017–18 season, he stayed at REAC as a youth coach.[7]

In 2024, Dinka was promoted from assistant to interim manager, following the sacking of Zsolt Kollár.[8] He was replaced by Zoltán Molnár ahead of the 2024–25 season and became assistant again.[9]

Personal life

Dinka was awarded the Rákospalota–Pestújhely–Újpalota Medal of Merit for the first time as an athlete by the local government of the 15th district of Budapest.[10][11]
