Hasek returns as Czech Republic coach ahead of Euro 2024
PRAGUE, Jan 4 (Reuters) – The Czech Republic appointed Ivan Hasek for a second spell as coach on Thursday to lead the squad at this year’s European Championship.
The 60-year-old Hasek, a former Czechoslovakia captain, takes over from Jaroslav Silhavy who guided the Czechs to the tournament in Germany.
Silhavy stepped down following criticism over some of the team’s performances in qualifying.
Hasek, who captained Czechoslovakia during their run to the 1990 World Cup quarter-finals, led Sparta Prague to two league titles as coach and had a brief stint leading the national team in 2009.
