Krisztián Németh (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈkɾistiaːn ˈneːmɛt]; born 5 January 1989) is a Hungarian international football player who currently plays for Sporting Kansas City.

Club career

Born in Győr, Németh started his career at hometown club Győr where he played from 2003 to 2005 as a youth player.

MTK Budapest FC

In 2005 he signed for MTK Hungária, with whom he scored 18 goals in 37 league games and helped the club to finish as runners-up in the Hungarian National Championship I in 2006–07.

Liverpool

He signed a three-year contract with Liverpool, alongside András Simon in the summer of 2007. He was regarded by the club as an upcoming talent and had been tipped for a bright future at the Merseyside club, who stated on their official site that "big things are expected of Németh."[2] Though he is mostly used as a striker, he often drops into a deeper position during games, where he is able to take advantage of the additional space to make his trademark backheel passes.[citation needed]

Németh scored twice on his debut for Liverpool Reserves on 27 November 2007 against Manchester City.[2] A week later, he scored twice in a 3–0 win against Everton Reserves at the Halliwell Jones Stadium.[2][3] He scored a fifth goal in three games against Middlesbrough Reserves sending Liverpool to the top of the Premier Reserve League North. He later started for the reserves against Sunderland Reserves and lobbed the keeper giving Liverpool the win and sending them five points clear at the top of the league.

In April 2008, Németh scored the only goal of the game against Blackburn Rovers Reserves which secured the Premier Reserve League North title. On 7 May, he scored the first goal as the Reserves beat Aston Villa reserves 3–0 at Anfield to clinch the Premier Reserve League national title.[2][4] He was the Premier Reserve League North Top scorer in the 2007–08 season. His impressive displays in the latter half of the season earned him recognition as Liverpool Fans' Reserves Player of the Year for the 2007–08 season.

On 30 July Nemeth was a second-half substitute in Liverpool's pre-season friendly against Villarreal where he almost gave Liverpool the lead but the shot went just over the crossbar. On 2 August Nemeth was introduced as a second-half substitute in another pre-season friendly against Rangers. His shot was saved on 58 minutes but tapped in by Yossi Benayoun. Then on 70 minutes he was fouled in the penalty area and Xabi Alonso scored the resulting penalty.

Also on 2 August, Hungarian national team coach Erwin Koeman urged Nemeth to go on loan to a Championship club to gain experience. Nemeth rejected the chance to play for League One club Leeds United stating that he wanted to get into coach Rafa Benitez' first team plans.[5]

Németh was handed the number 29 shirt for the 2008–09 season, previously he had no official first team number.[6]

On 26 January 2009, he signed for Championship club Blackpool in a one-month loan deal.[7][8] A day later, he made his debut for the Seasiders as a 59th-minute substitute at Bloomfield Road, creating their best chance by teeing up David Fox. Blackpool lost 3–0, and it was discovered afterwards that he had fractured his cheek bone when he clashed with a QPR defender just 60 seconds into his debut.[9][10]

Németh was one of several reserve players brought along for the pre-season friendlies, where he started the games against St Gallen, Rapid Vienna and Thailand. He then scored a brace against Singapore in a 5–0 victory.[11]

Due to injuries, Németh was not able to fulfil his potential at Liverpool, and subsequently moved to Olympiakos on a permanent deal following his loan spell at AEK Athens.

AEK Athens

It was announced by Liverpool on 25 August 2009 that he would spend the 2009–10 season on loan to AEK Athens. After visiting AEK for the first time, he said he is looking forward to the challenge saying "I am coming to a big club and a great city." He then laid out his ambitions stating "I hope we can win the championship."[12] On 30 August, he made his debut coming on as a first-half substitute against Atromitos. He assisted Ismael Blanco for the only goal of the game with a great run, and was a constant threat to the Atromitos defence throughout. As a result of this, he was voted the MVP in the Super Liga for that week.

On 20 September, he scored his first goal for AEK, netting in a 1–1 draw with PAS Giannina. Later that week on 23 September, he scored another goal in a 1–2 defeat to fierce rivals Olympiacos F.C..

Upon returning from the FIFA U-20 World Cup, he featured in every match before the international break, most notably the 3–1 victory against Larissa on 9 November where he scored a header after being introduced as a half time substitute.[13]

As the season entered 2010, Nemeth struggled with an ankle injury picked up on international duty. This forced him out of several months, as he returned only for the last few games of the season, where he appeared mainly as a substitute. In the final game of the regular season against Asteras Tripolis, he provided both assists in a 2–0 home win, ensuring AEK went into the play-offs as the third placed team. Throughout the season Nemeth produced more assists than goals, meaning his contribution to AEK was still important, and helped them secure second place in the play-offs.

Olympiacos

On 19 August 2010, Olympiacos F.C. announced that they had concluded a deal with Liverpool to sign Németh on a 3-year deal. The fee was originally £1.3m, but later the fee was reduced to £1m. There is a clause in his Olympiacos contract that states Liverpool are due 25% of any future sale of the player by Olympiacos F.C..[14] The deal was confirmed by Olympiacos F.C. on 23 August.[15] Németh never made a competitive first-team appearance for Liverpool, despite playing for them in pre-season. On 3 November, Németh made his debut for Olympiacos, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 win against Ilioupoli F.C. in a Greek Cup tie. 3 days later on the 6th, Nemeth made his League debut for Olympiacos, assisting Marko Pantelić for the 4th goal within minutes of coming on in a 5–0 thrashing of Panionios.

On 2 September in 2011, he terminated his contract with Olympiacos.

Olympiacos Volos

In 28 January, he joined Olympiacos Volos on a 6-month loan. Németh scored his only goal for Olympiacos Volos against Panserraikos in a 3–0 home win.[16] Finally, his team won the match by 3–0. At the end of the championship Németh returned to Olympiakos Piraeus and in the summer of 2011 he ended his contract with the Greek club.

MTK Budapest

On 4 November 2011 Németh signed a half-year contract with MTK Budapest FC. He previously played for the Hungarian club. Németh did not want to join any other Hungarian club except for MTK. Therefore he returned to his first club in order to help them back to the first division of the Hungarian League. Németh scored the only goal during his return to MTK against Soproni VSE in the 58th minute.[17]

RKC Waalwijk

On 26 January Nemeth signed a six-month contract at RKC Waalwijk.[18][19] Németh scored his first goal in the Eredivisie against Vitesse in the 37th minute and the match ended with 1–0 victory.[20][21] On 17 March Waalwijk beat De Graafschap by 1–0 thanks to Németh's goal in the 78th minute.[22][23] At the end of the season Németh had to return to Olympiacos, although he preferred to play in the Netherlands. Németh scored four goals in seventeen matches in the Eredivisie 2011-12 season. After his return to the Greek club Németh terminated his contract with Olympiacos and declared to continue his career at one of the Eredivisie clubs. RKC Waalwijk appointed former Hungarian national football team manager Erwin Koeman, who tried to convince Németh to sign the contract with Waalwijk. Finally, Németh followed his former Waalwijk manager, Ruud Brood to Roda JC in summer of 2012.

Roda JC Kerkrade

On 18 July 2012, Németh signed a two-year contract at Dutch Eredivisie club Roda JC Kerkrade.[24] In 2012 Roda signed Tamás Kádár who was Németh team mate at the 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup winning bronze medal for Hungary. On 1 September 2012, Németh scored his first goal for Roda JC Kerkrade against Willem II in the 74th minute in the Eredivisie 2012–13 season.[25] On 15 July 2014, Németh and Roda mutually terminated the contract between the player and the club. Nemeth became a free agent.[26]

On 23 September 2014, it was revealed by Nemzeti Sport that Németh refused the offer of Śląsk Wrocław. According to a Polish journal (sport.pl), the offer was € 8000-9000 monthly salary.[27] On 18 December 2014, Nemzeti Sport revealed that Németh might be signed by Major Soccer League club Sporting Kansas City.[28][29][30]

Sporting Kansas City

On 18 December 2014, Major Soccer League club Sporting Kansas City signed Németh. Németh will occupy an international roster spot on the team’s roster for the 2015 season pending receipt of his International Transfer Certificate and P-1 Visa.[31] Sporting Kansas City manager, Peter Vermes said that "the fact that he was spending time in Holland before coming to us will help him adapt to our team pretty quickly".[32]

On 6 April 2015, Németh scored his first goal in the 2015 Major League Soccer season against Philadelphia Union in a 3-2 victory in the 94th minute.[33][34]

On 19 April 2015, Németh scored his first goal in an away match against LA Galaxy at the StubHub Center, in Carson, California. The match ended with a 2-1 home win.[35]

On 14 July he scored the only goal in Hungary under-19s 1–0 victory over Bulgaria under-19s in their first group game at the UEFA Under-19 European Championships at the FK Viktoria Stadion in Prague, Czech Republic.[37] He also played in their victory over Spain under-19s on 17 July as Hungary qualified for the semi-finals and Németh played in the 1–0 loss to Italy under 19s on 23 July.[38]
