Árpád Kulcsár (born 7 October 1974) is a Hungarian professional football manager and player who last managed Pécs.

Managerial career

Szentlőrinc

Kulcsár served as a player-manager for Nemzeti Bajnokság III club Szentlőrinc during the 2012–13 season. Under his leadership, the team advanced through the early rounds of the Magyar Kupa, achieving convincing victories over Csács-Nemesapáti (4–0) and Jánosháza (5–1) before being eliminated by Debrecen in a competitive match. In the league, Szentlőrinc finished the 26th matchday in fourth place in the NB III Dráva group but lost a two-round relegation playoff, resulting in relegation to the Megyei Bajnokság I. Kulcsár participated as a player in the latter part of the season, contributing directly on the field, where the team secured five consecutive victories and concluded the season with a draw. His dual role as player and manager helped guide the squad through both cup and league competitions while demonstrating tactical and on-field leadership.[1]

Pécs

Initial stint

On 25 June 2014, Kulcsár joined Nemzeti Bajnokság I club Pécs as assistant manager.[2] He took over as caretaker manager on 27 October following the dismissal of György Véber.[3] Pécs lost all three of their matches under Kulcsár's stewardship before Robert Jarni was appointed on 24 November.[4]

Second stint

On 21 November 2023, Kulcsár returned as head coach of Pécs in the Nemzeti Bajnokság II.[5] On 20 February 2024, he stepped down as head coach by mutual agreement with PMFC’s management and resumed his previous role as head of youth development, having returned to coaching earlier that spring after recovering from a stroke over the winter, in order to focus on his health and the team’s future.[6]
