Károly Nemes also known as Dragan/Dragutin Nemeš, was a Hungarian football goalkeeper and later coach. He is best known for having been part of the championship winning teams of SK Rapid Wien and SK Jugoslavija, and he later had coaching career throughout Central and South-Eastern Europe.
After playing with MTK Budapest he became the first foreigner to play in SK Rapid Wien. He played two seasons with Rapid, between 1917 and 1919, and, after being vice-champion in 1917–18, a year later he won the double, the 1918–19 Austrian football championship and the 1919 Austrian Cup. He has played a total of 27 league matches for Rapid.
In 1919 he moved to Yugoslavia, known back then as the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, where he continued his career. Initially he joined NAK Novi Sad and later he was brought to Belgrade where he will join SK Jugoslavija and win the Yugoslav Championship two times in a row, in 1924 and 1925. He made 6 appearances in those two seasons in the Yugoslav championship and many more in the First League of the Belgrade Football Subassociation. While in Yugoslavia he became commonly known either as Karlo or Dragutin Nemeš.
In 1927 he was brought by FK Vojvodina president Kosta Hadži to Novi Sad where he had his first spell as a coach in the club by replacing for a short period Otto Necas who was the main coach back then. This was the beginning of a good relation he would have with the club, and he would later have a second spell as a coach with Vojvodina in 1932 when he stayed for almost two years. He would return again in 1939. Between Summer 1930 and September 1931 he coached Swiss side FC Luzern.
