Career[]

He was born in Ozun, Romania in 1966. At the age of 18 he moved to Brașov to play for local club Tractorul. In 1987, he enrolled at the Babeș-Bolyai University, subsequently he switched to the university club FC Universitatea Cluj.[1][2]

In 1991 Kádár was signed by FC Dinamo Bucharest on the initiation of club president Vasile Ianul for a fee of US$30,000. Kádár spent four years in Dinamo, during which period he won the Romanian League (1992) and also played in the UEFA Cup.[1][2][4][5]

In January 1996 Kádár returned to Universitatea for a brief period; he eventually retired at the end of the season and opened a restaurant in Gherla. Not much later, however, he was approached by fellow footballer Gábor Gerstenmájer, who then played in Switzerland. Kádár finally changed his mind and returned to active football. He moved to Switzerland to play for FC Schaffhausen, where he spent four seasons before in 2000 the club got relegated and Kádár switched to fourth division team FC Frauenfeld as a player-coach.[1][2]

In his second season in Frauenfeld the club won promotion, subsequently Kádár moved to FC Winterthur. He retired in 2005 and became a youth coach at Winterthur.[1][2]
