In 2007, he was diagnosed with inflammation of the kidney and was forced to stop his career. He then coached the youth team at Viktoria Žižkov whilst waiting for a kidney transplantation.[10]
In July 2010, Mikolanda announced his comeback to professional football after three years of surgery, signing a new contract with FK Viktoria Žižkov. "The doctors stated that I'll be able to play again. I was waiting for this moment for three years and I never gave up, although many people thought that I had no chance. Now I'm ready and I can't wait to play again," he said.
Coaching and later career
editRight after he stopped his career, Mikolanda was hired as a youth coach at Viktoria Žižkov.[11] In July 2010, Mikolanda announced his comeback to professional football after three years of surgery, signing a new contract with FK Viktoria Žižkov. "The doctors stated that I'll be able to play again. I was waiting for this moment for three years and I never gave up, although many people thought that I had no chance. Now I'm ready and I can't wait to play again," he said. He then worked as a youth coach at Admira Prague and later became part of the club's first team as a player alongside his coaching duties.[12]
