Quote of the week
Head coach Martin Masaryk on the women’s team’s newly signed forward: “Karla Kurkotovic is a hard-working, humble player and it is clear how important the team is to her, while the quality of our attacking play can improve considerably with her arrival. Both in terms of her personality and her abilities, she fits our team perfectly and can be an important member of Honvéd next season. She won a league title in her home country, and I am delighted that we managed to bring her to Kispest.“
