Coach Jandač to lead Plzeň hockey team next season

Josef Jandač will lead HC Škoda Plzeň into the next extra league season as head coach of the hockey team. The 56-year-old former coach of the national team has agreed on a new contract that extends his tenure at the Plzeň club. Mr. Jandač confirmed the extension of cooperation in an interview for the club website. The entire management team continues in the same composition, and assistant coaches Jiří Veber and Václav Pletka will remain.

Mr. Jandač took over HC Škoda Plzeň last May and returned to the bench after a long break. Before that, he last coached Sparta in the 2021/22 season. The experienced coach has also led Liberec, České Budějovice and Pardubice in the past. In the 2016-2018 seasons, he was the head coach of the Czech national team.
