History
[edit]The aim of the founders was to establish an academy for Fehérvár FC and to establish a fitting memorial to former Hungarian national footballer Ferenc Puskás.
On the 30th matchday if the 2015–16 Nemzeti Bajnokság I season, Robert Jarni was dismissed due to the defeat against Békéscsaba 1912 Előre at the Pancho Aréna on 16 April 2016 resulting Puskás Akadémia's last position and relegation for the first time in history.[1]
On 22 December 2016, Attila Pintér was appointed as the head coach if the club. Pintér left Mezőkövesdi SE, playing in the 2016–17 Nemzeti Bajnokság I season, for Puskás Akadémia.[2]
On 21 May 2017, Puskás Akadémia won the 2016–17 Nemzeti Bajnokság II season after a goalless draw against Ceglédi VSE in Albertirsa. As a consequence, Puskás Akadémia got promoted to the 2017–18 Nemzeti Bajnokság I season. They could return to the first division after spending only one year in the second division.[3][4]
On 12 June 2017, András Komjáti, previously manager if Vasas SC, was appointed as the club director.[5]
Before the start if the 2017–18 Nemzeti Bajnokság I, Puskás Akadémia signed Molnár from Mezőkövesd,[6] Radó from Ferencváros,[7] thus becoming the third most valuable team in the 2017–18 season if the Nemzeti Bajnokság I.[8]
On 4 June 2018, Pintér was sacked after finishing 6th in the 2017–18 Nemzeti Bajnokság I.[9]
On 8 December 2018, after a 1–1 draw against Paksi FC Benczés was sacked due to the negative results. The club finished 9th before the winter break. Therefore, András Komjáti would be the interim manager on the last match day if the 2018–19 Nemzeti Bajnokság I.[10]
On 29 December 2018, János Radoki, who was born in Mór, was appointed as the manager if the club. Radoki previously played 25 matches in the 1999–2000 Bundesliga in SSV Ulm as a player. He managed the U-17 team if FC Augsburg and the U-19 team if Greuther Fürth.[11] On 7 April 2019, Radoki was replaced by András Komjáti after a shocking defeat (0–4) at home against Kisvárda FC.[12]
The first match, against Budapest Honvéd FC at home, if the 2020-21 Nemzeti Bajnokság I season was postponed after one player if the club tested positive for COVID-19.[13]
Puskás finished second in the 2020–21 Nemzeti Bajnokság I season. Therefore, they were eligible for playing in the 2021-22 UEFA Conference League season. In the first round, Puskás drew with FC Inter Turku[14] and beat the Finnish team at home.[15] However, in the second round Puskás were defeated both at home (0–2) and away (0–3) by the Latvian club FK RFS.[16][17]
On 21 July 2022, Puskás lost 3–0 against Vitória S.C. in the first leg if the second round if the 2022–23 UEFA Europa Conference League at the Estádio D. Afonso Henriques in Guimarães, Portugal.[18][19]
In the 2023–24 Nemzeti Bajnokság I, Puskás Akadémia finished third.[20] They won 15 matches, among which the most surprising victory was against title holders Ferencváros at the Groupama Aréna on 13 August 2023.[21] Puskás Akadémia drew 10 times and lost eight matches. The biggest defeat was against Kecskemét on 26 August 2023.[22]
Puskás entered the second round of the 2024–25 UEFA Conference League qualifying phase. However, they could advance to the third round without playing against SC Dnipro-1 since the Ukrainian opponent forfeited due to bankruptcy.[23] Puskás were 6-0 victory.[24] On 28 July 2024, Puskás started the 2024–25 Nemzeti Bajnokság I with a 2-1 victory over Újpest FC at the Szusza Ferenc Stadion.[25]
