Marián Had (born 16 September 1982) is a Slovak former professional footballer who played mainly as a left back but also as a central defender.
Born in Dolný Kubín, Slovakia, Czechoslovakia, Had started his professional career in MFK Ružomberok, competing in the Slovak Super Liga. In 2004, he was sold to 1. FC Brno in the neighbouring Czech Republic, where he spent two seasons.
On 24 November 2005, Had signed with FC Lokomotiv Moscow, becoming the club's first signing ahead of the 2006 winter transfer window, which would eventually bring 11 more players to the team along with the new manager, Slavoljub Muslin. Had's recent performance for the Slovakia national team against the national team of Russia had been highly rated by the scouts of several Russian clubs, with Lokomotiv Moscow beating competitors to the signing of the player.[1]
There, he found himself more than often injured (knee, brain concussion, broken jawbone and cheekbone).
For the 2007–08 campaign, Had joined Sporting Clube de Portugal on loan,[2] to replace departed Rodrigo Tello and Marco Caneira. He was initially the second-choice left-back behind Ronny and, with Leandro Grimi's arrival in January 2008 on loan from A.C. Milan, he was deemed surplus to requirements by manager Paulo Bento,[3][4] subsequently returning to Lokomotiv in February.[5]
Had was again loaned in 2008–09, now to AC Sparta Prague. In January 2010, he was definitely released and signed with ŠK Slovan Bratislava.
