Újpest FC have parted company with coach István Urbányi by mutual consent, despite the Hungarian club lying third in the 1. Liga table.

Urbányi's replacement will be 52-year-old Lázár Szentes, who was previously in charge of Szombathelyi Haladás, Debreceni VSC and Pápa FC and who represented Hungary at the 1982 FIFA World Cup.
