The chairman of the board of directors of football Slavia, Jaroslav Tvrdík, who is being treated for an oncological disease, is already feeling better.
The boss of the reigning Czech vice-champion is not completely healthy yet, but his condition allows him to return to work at the club after about four months.
Tvrdík’s doctors diagnosed a serious illness in March. “As you know, I had cancer, it cannot be cured quickly. I am an oncology patient and will be for many years, maybe until the end of my life. I am not completely healthy, I am struggling, I firmly believe, not with cancer anymore, but with the consequences of the treatment ” said Tvrdík.
“I’ve had surgery, radiation. I’ll be fighting it for months, probably years, but at the moment my health allows me to come back. I don’t want to sit at home between four walls anymore, I’m really looking forward to work. I think the club needs to return. I believe that I will be healthy, I am very happy that I am returning to Slavia,” added Tvrdík.
The former minister thanked for the support he received from rival clubs as well. “I received thousands of messages from fans, I was touched and surprised. I would also like to thank the managers of other clubs, especially Sparta, Viktorka Plzeň or Baník. It turned out that when it comes to a serious matter, rivalry goes aside. I really appreciate it.” stated Tvrdík.
