Mihály Lantos (born Mihály Lendenmayer, 29 September 1928 – 31 December 1989) was a Hungarian football player and manager.[1] He played as a defender, spending the majority of his career at MTK Hungária FC. During the 1950s he was also a member of the Hungary team known as the Golden Team. Other members of the team included Nándor Hidegkuti, Ferenc Puskás, Zoltán Czibor, Sándor Kocsis and József Bozsik. After retiring as a player Lantos worked as coach. Between 1965 and 1967 he was assistant coach to his former MTK manager, Márton Bukovi, at Olympiacos. He then returned to Hungary where he managed several teams including Videoton FC.
Between 1949 and 1956, Lantos won 52 caps and scored 5 goals for Hungary. He made his international debut on 10 July 1949 in an 8–2 win against Poland. As one of the Mighty Magyars, he helped Hungary become Olympic Champions[2] in 1952, Central European Champions in 1953 and defeat England twice. He scored the opening goal as Hungary beat England 7–1 on 23 May 1954. He then helped Hungary reach the 1954 World Cup final. During the World Cup finals he played all five games for Hungary, scoring in the opening 9–0 win against South Korea and in the bruising Battle of Berne quarter-final encounter against Brazil.
