Playing career

[edit]

Dinamo Cernăuți

[edit]

Höfling, who was of Jewish origin, was born on 20 June 1924 in Cernăuți, Kingdom of Romania.[1][2] He began playing junior-level football at local club Dinamo.[1][2] He started his senior career in 1945 by playing for Dinamo in the Soviet Union's lower leagues and the Spartakiad.[1][2]

Ciocanul București

[edit]

In 1946, Höfling went to play for Ciocanul București, making his Divizia A debut on 25 August 1946 under coach Béla Guttmann and scoring the game-winning goal in a 1–0 home win over Ferar Cluj.[1][2][3][4] Höfling scored 22 goals by the end of the 1946–47 season, which made him the top-scorer of Ciocanul and the third top-scorer of the league, after Ladislau Bonyhádi and Iosif Kovács.[3][5] In the first half of the 1947–48 season, he scored two goals in 10 matches.[3]

MTK Budapest

[edit]

In 1948, Höfling joined Hungarian side MTK Budapest, making his Nemzeti Bajnokság I debut on 8 February under coach Márton Bukovi in a 2–0 loss to Újpest.[1][2][6][7] In the following match, he scored his first goal in the competition in a 6–1 win over ESMTK.[6] Höfling netted 14 times until the end of his first season, which included five goals in a 9–0 victory against Szolnoki.[6] In the first half of the 1948–49 season, he scored 11 goals, including a hat-trick in a 4–0 win over Tatabánya.[6]

Lazio

[edit]

In January 1949, Höfling went to play in Italy for Lazio.[1][2] He made his Serie A debut on 13 February under coach Mario Sperone in a 1–1 draw against Atalanta.[1][8][9] He scored his first goal in the competition on 13 March in a 2–2 draw against Torino.[8][1] In the 1949–50 season, he netted 13 goals, including two hat-tricks in wins over Novara and Como.[1][10] Subsequently, he scored 11 goals in the following season.[1][11]

Pro Patria

[edit]

Höfling joined Pro Patria in 1951 and made his first league appearance under coach Mario Varglien in a 2–2 draw against Padova in which he closed the scoring.[1][12][13] On 6 April 1952, he scored a brace in a 2–0 success over Bologna.[12] The team suffered relegation to Serie B at the end of the 1952–53 season, but Höfling stayed with the club, helping it gain promotion back to the first league after one year by netting 11 goals.[1][14] Afterwards, he scored eight goals in the 1954–55 season, including one goal in a win over his former club Lazio, and a double in a 3–1 victory against Genoa.[1][15]

Vicenza

[edit]

In 1955, Höfling moved from pro Patria to fellow Serie A club Vicenza.[1] He made his first league appearance for them on 18 September, playing the entire match under coach Béla Guttmann in a 4–1 loss to AS Roma.[16][17] He scored his first goal for Vicenza, opening the scoring in a 3–1 away win over Sampdoria.[16][18] Höfling made his last Serie A appearance on 6 November 1956 in a 0–0 draw against Juventus, totaling 169 matches with 48 goals in the competition.[16]

Managerial career

[edit]

In 1957, at the age of 33, Höfling began his managerial career at the Belgian Second Division club Club Brugge.[1][2][19][20] He successfully guided the team to promotion into the Belgian First Division by the end of the 1958–59 season.[2][20] After six years, a dispute with the team's star player, Fernand Goyvaerts, prompted Höfling to leave and take over as coach of the Dutch club Feyenoord.[1][2][21] Though sacked from Feyenoord after just one year, he returned to Belgium shortly after signing with Racing White Brussels, once again leading his new squad to a first-division promotion.[2][19][22]

Höfling returned to Club Brugge and helped the team win the 1967–68 Belgian Cup after defeating Beerschot in the final.[2][19][20][23] Subsequently, in 1968 he was appointed head coach at Anderlecht.[2][19][20] He led them during the 1968–69 European Cup campaign, as they got past Glentoran in the first round before being defeated 4–3 on aggregate by Manchester United in the second round.[2][24]

In 1969, Höfling went to coach for two seasons at the second-tier club Daring Club Brussels but failed to help them gain promotion to the first division.[2][19][20] However, he guided them to reach the 1970 Belgian Cup final, where they suffered a 6–1 loss to Club Brugge.[2] Later he was employed by AS Oostende, leading them to promotion from the third division to the second and then from the second to the first.[1][19][20][22][25] He went to work in the 1977–78 season at the second-tier club Gent.[19][20] His last coaching experience took place in Italy in the early 1980s at the club for which he previously played, Pro Patria.[1][2][19]

[edit]

Höfling wrote a book about football titled Le virus du football (The football bug), which was released in 1967.[2]

Höfling died on 18 April 2005 in Bruges, Belgium at the age of 80.[1][2][19]
