He rolled out, Willow in. The management of football Sparta Prague ordered a drastic change on Wednesday. He dismissed the current coach Václav Kotal and was replaced by Pavel Vrba. The man who is most connected with rival Pilsen. The diary addressed well-known (or lesser-known) football personalities – mostly with a Spartan past – with a question about how they perceive the lightning coaching rosy at the Letna club. This is a big surprise for many of them.

Pavel Vrba already on Thursday the team next door in the Spartan training center in Strahov. They had popular co-workers from Pilsen and abroad – Zdeněk Bečka and Martin Ticháček, who will work as Michal Špit in a pair with goalkeepers. David Bičík moves on to the B-team and Kotal’s assistant Michal Šmarda ends up in Sparta.

Martin FRÝDEK senior, former Sparta Prague player

“It is a big change, on the other hand, the defeat with Bohemka could be expected to be the second. I think that this match definitely broke Václav Kotal’s neck. The game was not good, previous winnings were rather distressed and worn out. As for Pavla Vrba, when the results show whether it was a good move. However, he wants to play offensive offensive football and the Sparta manchaft is built for that, it could be fine. And the reaction of the fans? If Mr. Vrb is successful, the negative reactions will subside. “

Milan FUKAL, former Sparta Prague player

“I do not think it is good. It is not for me to evaluate Mr. Vrba, he is an expert in his place, but in this situation the coach was not replaced. Although I do not know what is happening in Sparta, she somehow started the season, now she has lost to Bohemka, which will happen, but I have a feeling that the coach may not change at this stage of the season. After or in another part of the season, but this is not exactly ideal for me. “

Petr RADA, former coach of Sparta Prague, now coach of Jablonec

“It’s a surprise to me that the change took place in the middle of the week, actually a few days before the next match, it doesn’t suit me. Otherwise, it is not an unusual thing, football brings these situations. The management was not satisfied, so they decided on the variant, which has been talked about for some time. In addition, it is more cost-effective to dismiss a coach than to dismiss five players. It is easier. A lot of people think that in Sparta it’s not a problem in coaches, but elsewhere. I think so too. The coach must be given space for a certain period of time, he should have the main say and the club should stand behind him. That’s how it should be.”

Filip DORT, former Sparta Prague player

“He alternates between a quality coach and a quality coach. The difference may be that if Sparta finally gives Pavel Vrb the time he needs to work with the team and the authority he desperately needs, he can be successful. In recent years, this club leadership has not played much. I agree with the Council coach, who claims that a few of his former charges, who now play in Sparta, cannot cope with the pressure, then the quality goes logically down. This raises another question as to whether all players have sporting quality and psychological resilience on Sparta. I don’t think so either. In any case, it is crucial to have mutual respect and trust on the coach-player route. Only then can the team be successful. “

Václav NĚMEČEK, former captain of Sparta Prague

“Venca Kotal has done a good job and it is nonsense to call him off due to two unsuccessful matches. Of course, when it seemed more like players. If I see that the players themselves will be riding their asses on the weekend, it will be something that doesn’t bother me. Players must take criticism from the coach, if they can’t bear it, they have nothing to do in Sparta. But Sparta’s situation is not in the coaches, everyone can see that. He is not even in the sports director Tomáš Rosický. It’s about the overall management of the club. It is not for me to evaluate Pavel Vrba’s arrival. If the owner decides and hires a professional from elsewhere, it’s his business. “

Pavel VERBÍŘ, leader of the A-team FK Teplice, legend of the club

“I was very surprised that Pavel Vrba moved to Letná and baked it so quickly. The league will gain interesting attractions, because it is a former Pilsen region. And there is a great rivalry between Sparta and Pilsen. I don’t want to say any clichés about the new impulse for the cabin. When it turns out how it will work. “

“Even in Přerov he said that not to Sparta, that only Baník was his blood type. But there is always a lot to do in a wine bar with acquaintances and cousins. I’m about to call him. I am happy to tell him that his region lives with him, that I have even been approached by journalists. That we all look forward to his success. I wish him and lie to him, perhaps some undecided people are now becoming Spartans. “
