Coach Brueckner ‘not ruling out’ a return to Czech national football team

In sport, former Czech national football coach Karel Brueckner has said that he is considering taking up the job one more time. Mr Brueckner told the daily newspaper Sport that he had already been in negotiation with the head of the Czech FA Ivan Hašek about the proposal. The former national coach said that he would ideally like to become an advisor to the team, but that he would not rule out the idea of coaching the Czechs once more. Following the dismissal of František Straka from the job, after only one match in charge, there has been speculation that new Czech FA head Ivan Hašek would be interested in coaching the team himself, with the help and advice of several other trainers. On Thursday, Mr Hašek’s first choice for the job, Slavia coach Karel Jarolím, ruled himself out of the running, citing current work commitments.
