Czech Republic Manager: Ivan Hasek
Ivan Hasek, a former player with 55 caps, took over as head coach in March. Despite limited success in recent years coaching in the UAE, Qatar, and Lebanon, Hasek’s experience and man-management skills bring hope for a strong performance at Euro 2024.
Czech Republic’s Star Player: Patrik Schick
Patrik Schick, a key player for Bayer Leverkusen, is back to full fitness after recurring groin injuries. With a one-in-two international goal record and memorable performances, including a goal from halfway against Scotland in 2021, Schick is expected to lead the Czech attack.
Strengths & Weaknesses
The Czech Republic boasts a mix of experienced players and young talents. Tomas Soucek provides leadership as captain, while the Bayer Leverkusen duo of Adam Hlozek and Patrik Schick brings attacking prowess. The team’s unbeaten streak in their last six matches, including a 7-1 victory over Malta, shows their current form and potential.
Midfielder Michal Sadilek’s injury and withdrawal from the squad could affect the team’s midfield depth. Additionally, adapting to a new playing style under Hasek in a short time frame poses a challenge.
