“For the first time in my life, I decided to apply for a job at the club. I called Cordela, the Italian director of the Honved Club in Budapest, and everything started from there.”
Rossi left his mark in Honved. In the 2016-17 season, he led the team to win the league championship after 24 years. In 2017, he won the Hungary Coach of the Year Award.
