The Hungarian FA said on its Facebook page that Szelesi, who was a member of Storck's coaching staff, will be in charge for the remaining fixtures this year, friendlies against Luxembourg on Nov. 10 and Costa Rica four days later.

The 35-year-old former defender was capped 28 times by Hungary between 2004 and 2015. In a much travelled playing career, his club sides included Ujpest, Energie Cottbus, RC Strasbourg and NEC Nijmegen.
