Lajos Détári (born 24 April 1963 in Budapest) is a football manager and a retired Hungarian football midfielder. At the height of his career (1984–94), he was a well-respected player throughout Europe, winning "Player of the Year" titles in Hungary, Greece and Switzerland.
In 1984 Détári made his debut for the Hungarian national team against Switzerland. He scored 13 goals in 61 caps for his country until 1994. He was a participant at the 1986 FIFA World Cup in Mexico, where Hungary failed to progress from the group stage. Détári scored one goal in the 2:0 victory against Canada. To this day, this remains the last scored goal by Hungary in the World Cup finals.
In 1987 Détári was transferred from Honvéd Budapest to Eintracht Frankfurt in the German soccer national league for DM 3.6 millions(equivalent to €2.87 million today). In the 1987–88 season he scored 11 goals in 33 caps. On 28 May 1988, Détári scored the goal in the 1:0 victory against VfL Bochum at the German Cup final. It was a direct free kick just outside the box, leading Eintracht to their last cup title to this day. Détári had played in all six cup games that season.
At the beginning of the following season he was on the move for a world record fee of £6m. Détári arrived in Greece to a tumultuous reception by the Piraeus club's supporters. Unfortunately, he did not justify the expectations of Olympiacos or the money spent in his acquisition, leaving after only two years in the midst of the scandal involving the owner of Olympiacos, George Koskotas. Still, in those two years he managed 35 goals in 60 league games, many of them from set plays which was his specialty.
