In early June 2000, former Kispest-Honvéd FC president Gábor Rácz and Kispest mayor Béla Tímár visited Louis de Vries in Belgium and tried to persuade the Belgian businessman to return to Kispest. This was an unexpected turn, since Gábor Rácz had been running the club when De Vries was removed. The Belgian professional received the delegation politely but made no promises.
