Manfred Zsak (born 22 December 1964) is an Austrian football coach and former professional player.
Zsak started his professional career at Admira Wacker and moved to Austria Wien aged 23 and stayed with them for almost 10 years, captaining the side for most of his period at Austria. In 1996, he moved to GAK but left them after only a month and three matches to join FC Linz. He returned to his now renamed first team VfB Admira Wacker Mödling and suffered relegation with them to the second division in 1998.
He finished his career playing for lower league outfits SV Schwechat, ASK Bad Vöslau and SV Rust.
He made his debut for Austria in an October 1986 3-0 win over Albania and was a participant at the 1990 FIFA World Cup.[1] He earned 49 caps, scoring 5 goals.[2] He ended his international career at a May 1993 World Cup qualification match against Finland.
Zsak was the head coach of the Austrian under-21 side,[3] and then was named as Assistant Coach for the Austrian senior team.
