 <\/span>\u201cI admit, this invitation really warmed my heart,\u201d said <\/span>Georges Leekens<\/span>. \u201cWe had already planned to travel to Dubai, as my wife is celebrating her 60th birthday. I wanted to surprise her with a special trip and an unforgettable experience. Then a message arrived from Budapest saying that we were warmly welcomed there, and from that moment there was no question about it: we would travel to Hungary. I love this country; I spent ten unforgettable months here. And that remains true even if our results did not turn out as we would have liked. <\/span>I know that many people see me as a kind of failed head coach. But they ignore the period in which I took on this job. I was given the role of a transitional leader, someone who had to manage change and lay the foundations of a new team. And I believe I did exactly that. <\/span>Back then, in 2018, in those friendly matches, the results were not the most important thing. I still believe that today. I was the first to call up Dominik Szoboszlai, who was almost a child at the time. I was the first to put my trust in Roland Sallai. I discovered Willi Orban. It was also my idea to naturalize Lo\u00efc Nego. I wanted G\u00e1bor Kir\u00e1ly to work alongside me as goalkeeping coach, and I tried to bring former key players into the coaching staff. <\/span>I had plans, I started something, but I was not allowed to continue my work. I hold no bitterness; as you can see, they invited me again, and I came with pleasure.\u201d <\/span>So instead of Dubai, the <\/span>Leekens couple will celebrate in Budapest<\/span>. And knowing the always elegant, highly intelligent and cultured Belgian football expert, he will raise a glass of Hungary\u2019s finest red wines in his favorite downtown restaurants to mark his wife\u2019s 60th birthday. <\/span>He will, of course, also toast with his friend <\/span>G\u00e1bor B\u00e9keffy<\/span>, a Belgian\u2013Hungarian businessman living in Budapest, the son of world-famous football agent <\/span>Jen\u0151 B\u00e9keffy<\/span>. Hungarian football and the national team\u2019s performances will almost certainly come up in conversation as well.<\/span><\/p>\n
