József Farkas (born 6 July 1966) is a Hungarian professional football coach and former player who last served as assistant manager of Vasas.
Coaching career After assistant managerial spells at BVSC-Zugló, Rákospalota, Farkas followed Tibor Simon from Rákospalota to FC Sopron on 11 December 2001, continuing as his assistant manager, and temporarily took charge of the team on 21 April 2002 following Simon's assault. On 27 April 2002, György Bognár was appointed manager, after which Farkas returned to his role as assistant, having recorded one win and one draw in his two matches in charge.
Following his return to an assistant role under Bognár at FC Sopron, Farkas was designated caretaker manager for the match against Honvéd on 25 August 2002 after Bognár offered his resignation, and although he led the team from the bench, Bognár remained the official manager due to Farkas lacking the required UEFA A licence. On 2 September 2002, András Komjáti was appointed manager, with Farkas continuing as part of the coaching staff as his assistant.
Farkas managed recently promoted Nemzeti Bajnokság III club Rákospalota from 2023 until his departure on 13 March 2024, after which he was succeeded by Zsolt Kollár following the team's struggles in the 2023–24 season.
Farkas served as assistant coach at Nemzeti Bajnokság II side Vasas from 5 September 2024, joining the staff of Attila Pintér following his appointment as head coach. He left the position on 5 June 2025, when Pintér departed the club after narrowly missing out on promotion and was replaced by Gábor Erős.
