Dramatic emergency in the stadium: Hungary's assistant coach Szalai collapses!

A shock moment in football! There was a dramatic incident in the Nation's League game between the Netherlands and Hungary in the Johan Cruijff Arena. Just a few minutes after the start of the game, Hungary's assistant coach Adam Szalai put on the sidelines. The game was immediately interrupted, while paramedics hurried to the coaching zone to help Szalai. The spectators held their breath when the Situation worsened.

In the middle of the tense atmosphere, it was quickly announced that Szalai's condition was stable and that he was conscious. The Hungarian Football Association MLSZ informed that the 36-year-old was taken to an Amsterdam hospital for examination. Meanwhile, supervisors and substitute players formed a protective circle around Szalai, which aroused memories of the heartbreaking incident with Christian Eriksen at the European Championship 2021 when the Danish star collapsed on the square.

a new beginning as an assistant coach

Adam Szalai, who played 276 Bundesliga games for Mainz, Hoffenheim, Schalke and Hanover in his active career, was only active as a player for Hungary two years ago and recently led the team as captain. In the summer of 2023 he ended his career and appeared in October as an assistant coach of the Hungarian national team. The incident not only put the game, but also its new role in the shade.
