Iosif Lereter

UTA Arad

In 1967, Lereter joined UTA Arad, where under coach Nicolae Dumitrescu he won two consecutive titles in the 1968–69 and 1969–70 seasons. He contributed with 10 goals in 30 appearances in the first season, and seven goals in 29 matches in the second. On 16 October 1971, while playing for UTA in a match against Argeș Pitești, he became the first footballer to reach 300 Divizia A appearances. This milestone led the press to coin the term "Iosif Lereter Club" for any footballer achieving this feat in the Romanian top-league. He made his last Divizia A appearance on 1 October 1972 in UTA's 4–2 loss to Jiul Petroșani, totaling 327 appearances with 79 goals in the competition and 16 appearances in European competitions.

Managerial career and later life After he ended his playing career, Lereter worked for a few years as a manager for Constructorul Timișoara and UM Timișoara. In 1985 he was Politehnica Timișoara's president for 10 months. In 2018 in order to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the 1957–58 Cupa României victory, the Politehnica University of Timișoara awarded him a diploma of excellence.
