The new general partner of České Budějovice football: a businessman with cars

“At the beginning, it will bring about 10 million crowns to the club and at the same time it will get an option until the end of 2020. It is a pre-emptive right to buy the whole club,” a source from the club’s immediate vicinity told MF DNES.

Originally, however, there was talk of another variant. The blacksmith was to buy one hundred percent of the shares and get the whole club. In the end, however, it was agreed that he would first really look at its functioning and get to know the environment better.

At the same time, it was also of interest to the current management. “It is still true that we want an owner for Dynamo who can lift South Bohemian football, will not promise air locks and will stay in the club even if it does not succeed, as we lived for the club when he got from the second league for four years. first. After all, it is a sport and the best theoretical preparation and the plan do not mean that the club will become a factory for talents, “said Miroslav Dvořák, one of the shareholders, in June.

This is confirmed by a source in the newsroom. “The current owners are signed by their names under football in Budějovice and do not want it to fall here,” he assures.

Jakub Otava not only about his company

Jakub Otava, a former member of the board of directors of Prague’s Sparta, should help the blacksmith, who does not yet have much experience in the football environment. Otava works as Kovář’s advisor and owns the company 11Hacks, which deals with data analysis and scouting of players. His entry into the management of the Budweis club is now out of date.

The successful businessman Kovář has visited the main stadium on Střelecký Island and the Složiště training center several times in recent weeks. Dynamo also successfully audited. Only then was a final agreement and conclusion of the contract.

Jihočech Kovář did not want to comment on a possible sale for a long time. “I cannot comment on that now. But when everything is done, I’m happy to talk about it, “said MF DNES in May.

The head of the company has a great appetite for the new job. He is also interested in the main stadium and there is talk that the stadium on Střelecký Island could be renamed the AutoDraft arena. The brand of the club and the company would be highlighted on it. However, the name of the club will not be changed in any case.

“She is strong financially. His wish is for Dynamo to build a strong brand that will have significant value in the Czech environment. He lives by that, “the source of the editorial staff mentioned to Kovář.

After last season, which the South Bohemians finished in seventh place after the basic part as a newcomer, eight players left the A-team squad. Thanks to Kovář’s entry, the Budweis club could afford more on the transfer market.

The blacksmith wanted to buy Dukla

The South Bohemian businessman wanted to have his own football club for a long time. Since the autumn of last year, he has been negotiating the purchase of Dukla Prague. “I can confirm that. We had two information meetings at the end of the year last year, and Mr. Kovář was considering joining the club, “says Bohumil Paukner, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Prague team.

“It simply came to our notice then. He liked our work with the youth, the history of the club and its overall image. But Dukla is not currently a major league club, moreover, he has ties to southern Bohemia, that probably decided. But he seemed serious and trustworthy to me, “adds Paukner.

Sivok will not become the owner of the Budějovice club. I’m disappointed, he said

However, when the sale of Dynamo began to be resolved, Kovář was fascinated by this possibility. The negotiations lasted for less than five months and were not concluded until the beginning of July.

The sale of the Dynamo in České Budějovice has been talked about since the winter. The club tried to get the offspring and captain of the A-team last season, Tomáš Sivok, in conjunction with the owner of the Koh-i-noor company, Vlastislav Bříza. In the end, however, no agreement was reached. According to the existing owners, mainly because a new investor with a better offer appeared in the game.

The current owners, led by Miroslav Dvořák, CEO of Motor Jikov Group, have been leading Dynamo for sixteen years.
