Alfréd Schaffer (13 February 1893 – 30 August 1945) was a Hungarian international footballer.[1] He is recorded as having played for a record number of clubs: 21 in a 15-year career which lasted from 1910 to 1925.[2]
He joined MTK Budapest in 1915 and helped the club win three consecutive league titles,[1] and in the latter two of those seasons (1917–18 and 1918–19) he was the top European league goalscorer.[3]
After his playing days ended he became a football manager, and coached clubs such as 1. FC Nürnberg (for whom he also played), AS Roma and Ferencváros.[4]
He coached Hungary at the 1938 FIFA World Cup.[5]
He became manager of Roma in 1940, and led them to the 1941–42 Serie A title, before leaving the club in 1942.[6]
He died in the town of Prien am Chiemsee on 30 August 1945.[7]
