György Ormós Grozzi[1] (2 May 1914 – 4 January 2013), known as Jorge Ormos in Spanish and George Ormós in English, was a Hungarian football manager.
Career
Ormós mainly developed his career in Chile and Argentina.[2] He came to Chile at the end of 1949 and joined Everton de Viña del Mar as a fitness coach in his capacity as a PE teacher.[3]
In the Chilean Primera División, he coached Green Cross (1951–52),[4] Universidad de Chile (1953–54)[5][6] and Universidad Católica (1957).[1] He made three appearances in the Clásico Universitario: a win and a loss leading Universidad de Chile and a draw leading Universidad Católica.[7]
With Universidad Católica, Ormós also won the 1956 Segunda División de Chile and got promotion to the top division.[8][9]
As notable landmarks, Ormós made possible the professional debut of the historical Chile international footballer Leonel Sánchez with Universidad de Chile in 1953[10][11] and was the reason why the Universidad Católica's idol Sergio Livingstone moved to Colo-Colo in 1957.[12]
In 1959, Ormós moved to Argentina and led Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata in the Argentine Primera División.[13][14][15]
Settled in Canada, Ormós led Montreal Cantalia FC in the Eastern Canada Professional Soccer League.[16]
Personal life
Together György and his wife, Maria, lived an entrepreneurial life in many countries and cities: Hungary, Chile, Argentina, Montreal and Toronto where they achieved success with their company Or-Plast Ltd.[2]
Ormós had family in Chile, California and Wales. He settled and died in Toronto, Canada, on 13 January 2013.[2]
