Zsolt Laczkó (born 18 December 1986 in Szeged, Hungary) is an Hungarian footballer.
Club career
Ferencváros
Zsolt Laczkó debuted in the Hungarian National Championship I in 2004. He played for Ferencvárosi TC 44 matches and scored 12 goals.
Olympiacos
He was a free agent and joined Olympiacos's pre-season training. Laczkó was given a trial period in which he played in two friendlies – one of which he scored in – and impressed Olympiacos coach Takis Lemonis enough to be rewarded with a contract with the club. On 25 July 2007, he signed a four-year deal with the club,[1] but was subsequently loaned out to fellow Super League side Levadiakos shortly after signing.
Loan to Leicester City
On 17 December 2007, Laczkó joined Leicester City on trial,[2] and he was signed on loan on 4 January 2008 for the remainder of the season, with the club having the option to buy him for a pre-determined fee.[3] Issued the number 32 shirt, both he and compatriot Gábor Bori (who joined the following week) were keen to earn permanent deals to stay at the club.[4] Laczkó made his debut in a 2–0 win over Coventry City on 12 January,[5] receiving a standing ovation from the home fans when substituted.[1] Then-manager Ian Holloway described him as "absolutely outstanding."[6] Laczkó made his only assist for the club against Norwich City on 16 February, setting up Stephen Clemence's goal in a 4–0 win.[7] He played a total of nine league games as Leicester were relegated at the end of the season; a permanent deal never took place.
Vasas SC
He returned to Hungary after failing to establish himself as a first team player with Olympiacos, signing for Vasas SC for whom he played for one season before joining Hungarian champions Debreceni VSC in August 2009.[8]
Debreceni VSC
Zsolt Laczkó played 35 matches and scored 2 goals in the Hungarian squad of Debreceni VSC. He played six matches in the group stages of the Champions League 2009–10 season with Debreceni VSC. He scored a double against arch-rival Diósgyőri VTK in the 2009–10 season. He won the Hungarian National Championship I with Debreceni VSC in 2010. He played and important role in the qualification of the Europa League 2010-11 season in the squad. He scored a goal against Litex in the play-off round. He also performed well against Sampdoria in the Stadio Luigi Ferraris, however Debreceni VSC lost 1–0. In the last round of the Europa League 2010-11 Debreceni VSC beat Sampdoria 2–0.
Sampdoria
In January 2011 Zsolt Laczkó signed a contract with Italian Serie A team Sampdoria.
Ferencváros
On 22 February 2014 Laczkó was signed by the Hungarian League club Ferencvárosi TC.[9][10]
