Jaroslav Hřebík (born December 16, 1948 in Benešov ) is a former Czech football player and current football coach .

Because of his methods and character, he is considered one of the most controversial coaches in the Czech Republic. At the same time, he was one of the first to propagate zoning and other innovations in modern football.

Player career

Hřebík played for Jawa Týnec in his youth, at the age of 20 he moved to Viktoria Žižkov . In early 1974 Dukla Prague was committed, for whom he made his debut in the 1st Czechoslovak League. After a year he moved to league rivals Škoda Pilsen , for whom he scored four goals in two years.

From 1977 to 1982 the striker played for Spartak BS Vlašim, in 1982 he went to his hometown Benešov, where he was player-coach in the 1983/84 season. Hřebík ended his career with TJ Jílové from 1985 to 1988.

In total, the attacker played 22 games in the top Czech division, in which he scored four goals.

Coaching career

After his first experience as a player- coach in the 1983/84 season at ČSAD Benešov , Hřebík was head coach at the same club, which has since been renamed FK Švarc Benešov , and rose with him to the 1st division in 1994. After the first half of the season with only three wins from 15 games, he was dismissed, the team proved to be unsuitable for the first division and was relegated from bottom of the table at the end of the season.

Hřebík had made a name for himself and was hired by Viktoria Pilsen for the 1995/96 season , which he led to ninth place. The following season he was coach at Viktoria Žižkov, when the team was in the bottom of the table after the first half of the season, he was dismissed. In the 1997/98 season Hřebík trained the SK Hradec Králové with whom he was twelfth. He then moved to Slavia Prague , with whom he finished third and won his first title, the Czech Cup.

For a year without a club, Hřebík coached FK Jablonec in 2000/01 , which he also led twelfth place. He became the coach of Sparta Prague in the summer of 2001 , with whom he reached the intermediate round in the Champions League . When after a defeat against FK Jablonec on the 24th match day of the 2001/02 season the title of Sparta seemed in danger, he was dismissed.

In early 2004, Hřebík took over the coaching position at the Russian first division club FK Dynamo Moscow , after disappointing results he was released on July 12, 2004 in the middle of the season. At the beginning of 2005 he succeeded František Straka at Sparta Prague, which is extremely popular with fans . Straka was sacked due to poor results in the Champions League despite a nine point lead in the league. From the start, Hřebík met open rejection from the Sparta fans, which sometimes turned into hatred. He couldn't get on with the team either. Karel Poborský resigned his captaincy because of Hřebík's training methods. After a 2-1 defeat at FK Teplice in early October 2005, Hřebík had to leave.

Since then, Hřebík has been working as a commentator and expert for Czech television and various Czech print media .
