Zsolt Kollár

Zsolt Kollár (born 12 November 1979) is a Hungarian professional footballer who plays as a defender. He is a player-manager at Megyei Bajnokság IV club REAC Sportiskola.

Club career On 16 January 1999, Kollár transferred from MTK, where he had played at junior level, to Nemzeti Bajnokság II club Kecskemét.

He played 16 times for Vasas in the 2003–04 season, which saw the club promoted to the Nemzeti Bajnokság I as Nemzeti Bajnokság II runners-up.

Five years after leaving Rákospalota, Kollár made his debut for Megyei Bajnokság I side Testvériség on 2 September 2017, in an away match that ended in a 3–2 victory, in which fellow former REAC player Zsolt Pálmai scored his first goal for the club, which proved to be the winning goal.

Managerial career Testvériség Kollár led Testvériség to the 2022 Budapest Kupa final in April 2022, marking the first cup final of his managerial career. In the final on 27 April at Promontor utcai Stadion, his side took the lead twice, but 43. Sz. Építők equalized on both occasions before scoring the winning goal in the 76th minute, handing them a 3–2 defeat. After spending four and a half years in charge, he departed on 25 January 2024 following discussions with the club president, who indicated that a new impulse was needed for the team.

Rákospalota On 13 March 2024, Kollár was appointed manager of recently promoted Rákospalota, competing in the Nemzeti Bajnokság III, replacing József Farkas. He had previously been associated with the club as a player and youth coach. He had already taken charge of the team in a match on 10 March, a 2–1 away defeat to Debreceni EAC. He was dismissed on 17 April following a run of poor results, and was replaced by Balázs Dinka, with Flórián Urbán, who had replaced him as manager of Testvériség in January, overseeing the professional work as sporting director.
