František Fadrhonc (18 December 1914 – 9 October 1981) was a Czech
.In 1970, he took over the Netherlands national team and was their coach as they qualified for the 1974 FIFA World Cup, besting, among others, their rivals Belgium. However, it was Rinus Michels who took over in 1974 and who led them in the finals of that tournament.
Fadrhonc left the Netherlands for Greece to coach
In the UEFA Cup campaign of the 1976–77 season, he is credited with the substitution of regular goalkeeper Lakis Stergioudas with veteran Nikos Christidis in extra-time of the second leg of the encounter against QPR. His move was justified when Christidis stopped two penalties and AEK went through to the semi-finals.[2][3]
He died aged 66 in Nicosia, Cyprus.
