premise: Besides his stellar career as a player, Puskas was also an accomplished coach, directing Greek club Panathinaikos to league crowns twice and to a European Cup final in the 1970-71 season.
  In the 1970s and 80s, Puskas coached nearly a dozen teams from North and South America, Europe, Africa and even Australia.
  Among the teams he directed from the bench were Chilean club Colo-Colo, Greek side AEK Athens, Egyptian side Al-Masri and Panhellenic Melbourne in Australia.
  Puskas settled in Hungary after the fall of communism and briefly held the job of caretaker coach of the national squad in 1993.
  This is the first time since the country's transition to democracy that a day of mourning has been declared for the funeral of a sports star, in homage to the legend who became the "best-known Hungarian in the world."
   Why did the Hungarians consider Puskas as the best-known Hungarian in the world?
