  • Plzeň will begin the new hockey season without head coach Josef Jandač, who is recovering from a second Achilles tendon operation.
  • Jandač expects to follow the early-season games from the stands and already attends most training sessions.
  • Assistants Jiří Veber and Václav Pletka will direct the team until he returns, while Plzeň also enters the Champions Hockey League after a seven-year absence.

Josef Jandač is expected to miss Plzeň’s bench until November as he recovers from a second operation on his Achilles tendon. The experienced coach will still be close to the team, watching the opening games from the stands and attending most training sessions.

Until Jandač can return, assistants Jiří Veber and Václav Pletka will take charge behind the bench. Their task will be to guide Plzeň through the start of the new season without its head coach.

The season also brings a notable return for the club. After seven years, Plzeň will compete in the Champions Hockey League, giving the team an international campaign alongside its domestic commitments.
