Coaching career

In the 2004/05 season Leo Gudas was assistant coach under Slavomír Lener at HC Sparta Prague .

Between 2007 and 2009 Gudas worked as an assistant coach at BK Mladá Boleslav , who made it from the first division to the extra division during this time . For the 2009/10 season he took his first head coach at SK Kadaň from the 1st division. However, this engagement ended prematurely, and so he returned for the 2010/11 season as an assistant to Mladá Boleslav. The success of the first term of office did not materialize and so he and his counterpart Jan Tlačil had to leave the club at the end of October 2010. For the 2011/12 season , Gudas took on an assistant coach position at HC Most from the 1st division.

In January 2012, Gudas became sports manager of Piráti Chomutov , and later also assistant coach of the professional team.
