Manager Zelenka and coach Bejda continue with the Czech national team
They are behind the greatest successes of the Czech national team in small-sided football, so it is not surprising that the general manager Luděk Zelenka and the head coach Stanislav Bejda continue with the national team.
They have both agreed with the Czech Association of Small Football to work together until the European Championships in 2024, so they have also been given the confidence for next year’s World Championships, which will be hosted by the United Arab Emirates in April/May.
Both Zelenka and Bejda were involved in the 2017 world championship title in Tunisia and European champions a year later in Ukraine. The Czech team also dominated the Continental Cup in Tunisia the same year. At the European Championships in Košice in June, the national team crashed out in the quarter-finals after a penalty shootout with Romania.
“I am very happy that we have agreed on further cooperation. Luděk and Standa are experienced professionals with huge successes behind them. Together we had several meetings, which crystallized the path that the national team should follow in the coming years,” said Jan Pinkava, CEO of the association.
Zelenka joined the team as general manager in 2012, Bejda started with the team a year later as a playing assistant, and after the European Championship in Brno in 2017 he moved to the position of head coach instead of Radek Pokorný.
“It is very important that the cooperation is multi-year. First of all, it makes it clear to the association that it has confidence in the current management, and at the same time it confirms that we are setting a long-term strategy that aims to be world-leading again in the long term. The representation must be the showcase of our association,” added Pinkava.
