Ferdinand Daučík (also known as Fernando Daucik; 30 May 1910 – 14 November 1986) is a former Slovak football player and manager. Daucik was the manager of several La Liga clubs, most notably CF Barcelona, Atlético Bilbao, Atlético Madrid and Real Zaragoza. During his career he managed La Liga clubs in 488 games, won three La Liga titles and won the Copa del Generalísimo on five occasions and won three La Liga/Copa doubles. He died in Alcalá de Henares.
Daucik played as a defender for 1. ČsŠK Bratislava, SK Slavia Praha and Czechoslovakia. He was only the third Slovak player ever to play for Czechoslovakia. He represented them at both the 1934 and 1938 World Cups. He also coached ŠK Slovan Bratislava between 1942 and 1946 and again in 1948. In 1948 he coached Czechoslovakia for two games.
Daucik arrived in Spain as coach of Hungaria, a team made up of refugees fleeing the various Communist regimes of Eastern Europe. The team included his brother-in-law, Ladislao Kubala, who had married Daucik's sister, Anna Viola Daucik, in 1947. Hungaria played a series of friendlies against Madrid Select XI, a Spain XI and RCD Español and during these games, Kubala was spotted by Josep Samitier, then chief scout at CF Barcelona. Kubala was offered a contract and as part of the deal, Daucik became the CF Barcelona coach in 1950.
