Playing career

Dajka was born in Nyíregyháza. In the season 1980–81, he participated into the European Champions' Cup with Budapest Honved where they reached the second round of the competition where they were beaten by Real Madrid by a 3–0 aggregate scoreline.

He participated in the 1986 World Cup, which turned out a major disaster for Hungarian football – mainly because of the 6–0 defeat against the Soviet Union – and for Dajka in particular, having scored an own goal in the particular match.

He was particularly well known for headers, scoring a great number of his goals that way.

Managerial career

Dajka has coached several Hungarian teams.

On 20 February 2024, Dajka signed for Nemzeti Bajnokság II's Budafok.^[1]
