The MLSZ took into account the circumstances of past losses and Storck’s plans for the future, Csányi said.

After a meeting at OTP headquarters, Csányi said Storck had offered his resignation following last Friday’s embarrassing 1-0 defeat to Andorra, but the MLSZ asked him not to make that public.

Hungary now has very little chance of qualifying for the World Cup in 2018.

Csányi announced that ticket prices for the next three home games will be Ft 1,000.

Storck, a German, exceeded expectations by leading Hungary into the last 16 at the 2016 European Championships.
