Banker Sandor Csanyi has been elected the new president of the Hungarian Football Federation.
Csanyi, chairman and CEO of OTP Bank Plc., Hungary's largest bank, received a vote of 82-0, with seven delegates not casting votes in Tuesday's election.
The 57-year-old Csanyi says he considers his new post to be the ``most difficult task in his life'' and said that in the near future ``only luck'' can improve the performance of Hungary's national and club teams.
Hungary has failed to qualify for a major international tournament since the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, while Debrecen reached the group stage of the Champions League last season but failed to score any points.
