International coaching career

Csank was manager of the Hungary national football team between April 1996 and November 1997. During this time, Hungary advanced from the World Cup qualification group but suffered a devastating 1–7, 5–0 defeat against FR Yugoslavia.

After the losses against Yugoslavia, Csank resigned from his position and was followed by Bertalan Bicskei.{{cite web | url = http://www.nemzetisport.hu/magyar_valogatott/emlekezetes-meccsek-az-elmult-ket-evtizedbol-1856671/ | title = Emlékezetes meccsek az elmúlt két évtizedből | language = hu | publisher = nemzetisport.hu | date = 1 September 2009 | access-date = 3 November 2013}}

Personal

Csank is recognizable for his dark humor. At half-time in the losing match against the Yugoslavian team, when a reporter asked him what he was going to say to the players, he replied: "Surely not to keep it up!".{{Cite web|url=https://m4sport.hu/2017/10/29/20-eve-vertek-romma-a-valogatottat-a-jugoszlavok/|title=20 éve verték rommá a válogatottat a jugoszlávok}} At the end of this match, at the interview he said that the major cause of the loss was, "I didn't know that some of my players were so lame."{{Cite web|url=https://index.hu/sport/futball/2014/vb/cikkek/van_gaal_jobb_7-1-re_kikapni_mint_11-esekkel/|title=Van Gaal: Jobb 7-1-re kikapni, mint 11-esekkel|date=10 July 2014|website=index.hu}}
