Czech FA to decide on new leadership

The Czech FA on Saturday is to agree on a new leadership, including a new chairman, with former player and international football coach Ivan Hašek listed as the favourite for the post. He is rivalled only by Luděk Vinš, the owner of Viktoria Žižkov, for the job. Both candidates are seen as able to bring needed changes to the FA, including an increase in funds in different sectors, as well as improved publicity and improved management regarding the national team. Mr Vinš announced his interest in the post well in advance, Mr Hašek only later, due to a coaching job in the United Arab Emirates.
