David Holoubek has been relieved of his duties as head coach of Dukla Prague, the club confirmed on Monday, February 10, 2026. The decision comes as the team struggles at the bottom of the Czech First League table.
The club announced the change on its website, stating that the team’s performances and results throughout the season did not meet expectations. Assistant coach Dominik Rodinger has also departed the club.
“The reason for this decision is that the performances and results during the season did not meet the club’s expectations,” said sporting director Martin Hašek in a statement.
Holoubek’s dismissal marks the first coaching change in the spring portion of the Chance Liga season. He lasted just two matches into the spring campaign before the club opted for a change in leadership.
The club has yet to announce a replacement, but several names are reportedly in contention. Pavle Šustr has been mentioned as a potential candidate, while sources indicate Josef Dvorník of Baník Ostrava B and Zdeněk Hašek of Kladno are also being considered.
Dukla Prague currently finds itself in a precarious position, battling to avoid relegation from the top flight. The team will be looking for a swift turnaround under fresh management as they aim to climb the league table.
