Nicolae Nagy (born 8 March 1942) is a Romanian former football forward.
Nagy was born 8 March 1942 in Marosvásárhely, Hungary (today Târgu Mureàin Romania), and began playing junior-level football in 1957 at local club Avântul. In 1961, he started his senior career at MureÃÂul Târgu Mureàin Divizia B. In 1962 he joined Viitorul BucureÃÂti where he made his Divizia A debut on 9 September under coach Gheorghe Ola in a 0âÂÂ0 draw against ÃÂtiinÃÂa Cluj. After only one appearance for Viitorul, Nagy went back to the second league to play for Dinamo Obor BucureÃÂti.
In 1963 he returned to first league football, signing with Dinamo PiteÃÂti, where his first performance was reaching the 1965 Cupa României final, being used by coach Virgil MÃÂrdÃÂrescu the entire match in the 2âÂÂ1 loss to ÃÂtiinÃÂa Cluj. In the 1965âÂÂ66 season, he scored a personal record of 22 goals, being the second top-scorer of the league with only two goals behind Rapid BucureÃÂti's Ion Ionescu. Nagy appeared in five games in the 1966âÂÂ67 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, where in the first two rounds they eliminated Sevilla against which he scored two goals and Toulouse, being defeated in the third round with 1âÂÂ0 on aggregate by Dinamo Zagreb who eventually won the competition.
Afterwards in 1967 Nagy went to play for two seasons at Dinamo BucureÃÂti. The highlights of this period were a goal scored in a 2âÂÂ0 win over rivals Steaua BucureÃÂti and reaching the 1968 Cupa României final where coach Bazil Marian used him as a starter until the 77th minute when he replaced him with Mircea Lucescu in the eventual 3âÂÂ1 victory against Rapid BucureÃÂti. He then joined ASA Târgu Mureàwhere in his first season the team was relegated, but Nagy stayed with club, helping it get promoted back to the first league after one year. His spell at ASA consisted of eight seasons in which he also played three games in the UEFA Cup over the course of two editions. Nagy made his last Divizia A appearance on 30 June 1977 in ASA's 3âÂÂ1 away win over FCM GalaÃÂi in which he scored once, totaling 300 matches with 118 goals in the competition. He ended his career one year later after spending one season in Divizia B at Gaz Metan MediaÃÂ.
Between 1965 and 1966, Nagy made six appearances with one goal scored for Romania's under-23 squad.
He played one game for Romania under coach Ilie Oanàin a 2âÂÂ1 friendly victory against Israel.
