Football sensation Tomáš Řepka announced on Monday on O2TV Sport that he is ending his career in Červený Janovice, where he played in recent seasons. He wants to study for a coaching license. “We’ve been in agreement for a few weeks, we just didn’t want to let it out because we want to focus on the tough season,” revealed Štěpán Kacafírek, the playing coach of Červený Janovice.

“Tomáš will be preparing for the entrance exams for the coaching A license, so before the season it was already agreed that he would only play a few matches. His suspension and disciplinary action only accelerated it. Now he will devote himself exclusively to preparations for the coaching A license, which will take a lot of time. He wouldn’t be able to devote himself to football in the way we would need,” he added.
Repka said goodbye to Červený Janovice exactly as everyone knew him from the years of his professional career. As captain, he entered the first round of the Kutnohorsk district championship against Horní Bučice and was sent off with a red card in the 20th minute. He insulted the referee. In addition to his punishment, he was suspended for four matches.

“The last red card is the end of Tomáš’s tenure with us. But it is Tomáš Řepka and the red cards belong to him. I don’t blame him. He always played at full throttle, never at half throttle,” Kacafírek returned to the controversial moment.
He does not hide that the former player of Sparta, Fiorentina, West Ham and the national team will be missed by Červený Janovici. “It’s a big loss for us. Tomáš has done very good work here for two and a half years. I would like to take this opportunity to thank him for what he has done here. I would like to express my support for him in the years to come, may he become a coach and succeed. I believe that his next career will be as successful as his playing career,” said the team’s playing coach.

However, he ruled out the future continuation of Řepka in the team. “We have agreed that we have ended it and Tomáš is still our player, because now he cannot transfer anywhere. But this chapter is already closed. It’s a specific environment here, it’s challenging here. Tomáš would still like to play somewhere, but not in such a watched team as is often the case in our country. That’s the end of it,” he explained.
And how does Kacafírek see Řepka’s coaching future? “I think he could be a good coach. He is a person who has played at the highest level, has experienced a lot and wants to win at all costs. He doesn’t have the calm nature of other trainers, but that’s not a bad thing at all. Such a coach would help a lot of teams in the current situation. For example Sparta. Tomáš can really motivate and kick his team. He has such experience in professional football that he can pass it on. He can also win players over to his side. Therefore, my opinion is that one day he will be a good and successful coach,” concluded Kacafírek.
In any case, Rapeka has an overview of current football. For some time now, he has been criticizing the events in the Czech league and especially in Sparta, where he played the role of captain for many years. Will he ever make it to the bench of the flight team?
