Czech football clubs unveil new coaches, squads and budgets for upcoming season

Czech football pre‑season changes coach appointments budget increase player transfers

Several Czech clubs announced major changes ahead of the new campaign. 1. SK Prostějov appointed coach Bohuslav Pilný, expanded its technical staff and added experienced players such as defender Michal Surzyn, midfielder Marek Kejř and striker Patrik Voleský, aiming for a top‑half finish and opening the season at home against Třinec.

Slavia Prague entered the league with the youngest average squad age (24.4 years), the lowest among the sixteen participants, after a wave of new signings and departures.

1. FC Slovácko reported a 10‑15 % budget increase following a change in majority ownership to Solar Global. Club director Zdeněk Heneš said the extra funds will support new signings and help the team avoid a relegation battle.

FC Zbrojovka Brno, newly promoted to the Czech First League, set modest targets, saying a finish above the tenth place would be a success. The club raised its budget, introduced eight new players—including forwards Daniel Vašulín and Lucky Ezeh—and is still seeking a central midfielder and a stopper.

FC Písek, competing in the third tier, announced ambitious goals to contend for the championship. The club appointed Josef Parlásek as head coach, outlined a plan to develop youth structures, and highlighted infrastructure upgrades to accommodate growing spectator demand.

Collectively, these announcements reflect a period of investment, roster overhaul and strategic planning across Czech football clubs as they prepare for the forthcoming season.
