After a coronavirus break, the 53-year-old coach unexpectedly led Bohemians to the group’s top playoffs for Europe, the team dreamed of cups and won nine times in the last twelve league duels.
It is obvious that the club from Vršovice would like to continue in a similar style.
But while last year the Bohemians were in tenth place to dream about Europe, the last place in the playoffs, now the situation is completely different due to the change in format and the increase in teams from 16 to 18.

“For more average, weaker teams, where we still have to join, it is more advantageous that you have a chance to advance from tenth place to Europe. In this way, you have to have consistent performances and play well all season to stay up, “Klusáček said at a press conference.
“We still have to talk about avoiding the descents of descent in peace. And then? We want to play upstairs, build a team, give young people a chance, “continued the coach, who otherwise welcomes the expansion of the top competition.
“I am in favor of more matches. Whether in the form of a superstructure that has been heavily criticized, or in this one. Only thirty matches are not enough for me, “he said.
During the spring, Klusáček had almost two eleven at his disposal, he could spin with the set at will. Currently, the staff is narrower, although the coach still has “where to reach”. There are twenty-three field players and three goalkeepers on the roster.
“We didn’t want to reach into the team much after a successful season, but the staff was very wide in the spring,” said sports director Miroslav Držmíšek.

Tomáš Fryšták (end of contract, Senica), Jakub Podaný (return from guest, Dukla / Jablonec), Matěj Pulkrab (return from guest, Sparta), Michal Šmíd (Slavia B), Jakub Rada and Jan Záviška (both Hradec Králové) left Bohemians and also Jhon Mosquera, who “fled” to Liberec under strange circumstances.

“Of course we wanted to keep him, he and Pulkrab are departures that hurt us a bit,” said Držmíšek. “It was not fair of Mosquera. Especially from a boy who was a great friend of our director, Darko Jakubowicz, and who claimed to have a kangaroo in his heart. Jhon and his manager may be happy that they live in the Czech Republic, if they made such a trip in Colombia, they would probably be shot. “
With the departure of Pulkrab and Mosquery, it is clear that Bohemians need reinforcements for the offensive. “We would like to bring one, if possible two quality players,” Držmíšek confirmed, adding that he was probing the situation around the former.
“Pulkrab did not finish the spring due to injury, and now we are waiting to see how it develops. We would be interested in him if his health allows it. But we also deal with other variants. And it doesn’t matter if it’s for hosting or transfer. “
There were not many changes towards the club, in response to the injury of Roman Valeš, who will be out of six months, the goalkeeper Hugo Jan Bačkovský came to the guest, we managed to arrange the continuation of the stopper Lukáš Pokorný (borrowed from Slavia). The Bohemians had previously exercised the option on midfielders Lukáš Hronek and Roman Květ.
Footballers Bohemians cheer after the second goal of Jhon Mosquera, who in a duel against Slovácko definitely decided on their progress to the final for Europe.

Apart from Valeš, Filip Hašek will probably not make it to the Sunday start of the season with Mladá Boleslav, Jan Vodháněl will also be missing, as he injured his knee in the general race with Teplice and needs six weeks of rest.
And other news from Ďolíček?
Due to declining incomes in the spring due to coronavirus measures and regulations, Bohemians are entering a season with a lower budget.
“Last year we worked with ninety million, now we should work with about ten million lower,” said Chairman of the Board Dariusz Jakubowicz.
“Due to the coronavirus situation, a large part of our income has fallen, mainly from merchandising, admission fees and contributions from some sponsors. And also from the sale of players, the prices offered did not meet the requirements, the market practically stopped here. Every year we sold players for around twenty, twenty-five million, nobody this year, “he added.
