Kaposvar are the first opponents of the new season

Kaposvar Rakoczi were celebrating promotion on the same day in May 2018 as Vidi were as NB I champions. The Somogy county side ended in first place in NB III on that day. The two sides meet today in the first division following Kaposvar’s second place finish in NB II last season. That meant a place back in the NB I for the first time since 2014. The successful team has moreorless been kept together with only veteran 38 year old Rajczi having left during the summer. However, there have not been any new faces arriving. However, finally Richard Nagy from Mezokovesd arrived together with Honved loanee Balint Tomosvari and Vac signing Gergely Toth. Aljosa Vojnovic came in from ZTE, who had been injured throughout last season. Another player battling injuries was former MTK player Norbert Csiki, who was most recently playing for Budaors.

Former Vidi forward Robert Waltner now manages today’s opponents and his squad is valued by transfermarkt.de at 2,53 million euros. That is almost half the amount of fellow NB I side Kisvarda. Highest valued player is Vojnovic on 250,000€. Former Vasas forward Adam Martin played in the NB I and is valued today at 200,000€. Top league goalscorer during the 2018-19 season was Gergo Beliczky, who also finished top of the Canadian Table with 12+5. Richard Nagy was next up with 6+10. However, it was Laszlo Ur who played the most for Kaposvar with 3121 minutes in his legs. Attila Szakaly was closely behind on 3106 with Csaba Vachtler on 2968. The already mentioned manager is the only one with Vidi connections. The right back was a member of our second team until 2013.
