Player career

Karel Kula played for the senior team from Baník Ostrava from 1981 . After he was briefly used in 1982 by his youth club TZ Třinec , the defender played for Dukla Banská Bystrica from 1982 to 1984 before returning to Baník Ostrava. There he was finally active until 1991, before he made the jump abroad and transferred to the Stuttgarter Kickers in the Bundesliga , where he scored six goals in 28 games. In 1992 Kula went to SG Wattenscheid 09 , where he stayed until 1995. He then moved to the then Czech second division and his training club Fotbal Třinec . At the beginning of 1997 Kula went back to the way to Baník Ostrava, for which he played in 21 games across the seasons within a year. In early 1998 Kula went back to Třinec, where he played until the end of the 1998/99 season. After that, another move abroad was announced, more precisely to Burgenland, not far away, where he hired at the then third division ASK Baumgarten . In Baumgarten, he was used in a total of four different seasons (three of them in the regional league), with a record of 51 league appearances and eleven goals in the three regional league seasons. In 2003 there was another step in the lower house when he moved to ASV Neufeld in the Burgenland seventh and thus last-class 2nd division north . After only one season, there was another change back to the fourth-class Burgenland league to FC Illmitz , where Kula ended his active career in 2005 at the age of just 42 and immediately started a career as a football coach.

For the Czechoslovak national soccer team Kula completed 40 games in which he scored five goals; before that he was already in action for the Czechoslovak U-21 national team (15 international appearances) and for the Olympic team of Czechoslovakia (1 game / 1 goal).
