Timeline
In 2009, Jim was inducted to the FC Dallas Walk of Fame.
In 1974, Southern Methodist University (SMU) hired Benedek to begin a men’s soccer team at the school. He remained with the team through the end of the 1984 season. Benedek also spent several years as an assistant coach with the Hungarian National Football Team. In 1999, he coached the West Texas Heat of the W-League to an 8–2 record and the second division title. He also coached the Texas Toros of the USL D-3 Pro League. In 2001, he coached the West Dallas Kings of the Premier Development League. He went on to coach the men’s and women’s soccer team at North Lake College in Irving, Texas before succumbing to cancer. He died in March 2009 of prostate cancer.
After graduating from Ithaca, he attempted to gain a place on several European clubs in Austria, France and Germany, but ultimately returned to the U.S. and signed with the Houston Stars of the North American Soccer League (NASL) in 1968. The Houston Stars folded at the end of the 1968 season and Benedek moved to the Kansas City Spurs for the 1969 season. In 1969, the Spurs won the NASL championship. Benedek then moved to the Dallas Tornado where he played a single season, his most productive, as a defender. He was again a member of a championship team when the Tornado took the 1971 NASL title. He was also a member of the Dallas team that won the first-ever NASL-sanctioned indoor tournament in 1971, scoring two goals in the opening match and being named to the All-tournament squad. He left the NASL following the 1973 season to become a college soccer coach.
