Hungarian term or phrase: Csaba Laszlo or Laszlo Csaba
Scottish football club Heart of Midlothian (Hearts) have a new Hungarian manager. British websites say his name is Csaba Laszlo. I was convonced that "Laszlo" is the Christian name and "Csaba" the surname.

Have even started a thread on a BBC soccer forum wanting to put the record straight:

Can our Hungarian friends confirm this is correct or am I to eat my words?

agree  Michael Golden: If you google "csaba", "lászló", "coach", "hearts", virtually every English-language source refers to him as "Csaba László". If you google "Csaba", "László", "edző"(i.e. Hungarian for "coach), "hearts", virtually every Hungarian source lists him as "L.C."
