Changes
editOwnership structure
editBefore the start of the season, the investment group PORTIVA a.s. joined Zbrojovka. It currently has a minority share in the club, which will gradually increase to a majority of 61 percent. 5 percent of the shares were also acquired by the Brno Regional Chamber of Commerce. The current owner and chairman of the board of directors, Václav Bartoněk, will remain at the club in the position of advisor. A new position of executive director was introduced in the club, to which Ladislav Valášek was appointed. He previously worked in executive positions in Bohemians 1905, Viktoria Plzeň, Fastav Zlín or FAČR.[1]
Technical staff
editOn 9 June 2023, Luděk Klusáček was appointed as the new head coach, his assistants are Tomáš Polách and Josef Mucha. The goalkeeper coach Martin Doležal remained in his position.[2] The sports manager is Zdeněk Psotka who previously worked as a technical director at FAČR.[3] On October 24, 2023, Luděk Klusáček was sacked after unsatisfactory results. The role of head coach was temporarily taken over by Tomáš Polách in cooperation with Josef Mucha.[4] On November 14, the board of directors of FC Zbrojovka Brno decided to keep Tomáš Polách in the position of head coach. Polách signed a two-year contract with a one-year option.[5]
