Who is Czechia coach?
A former Czechoslovakia midfielder, Ivan Hašek's coaching career has taken him all across the globe, and as well as managing domestic teams in France, Japan and Dubai, he has also taken charge of the national sides of Gabon and Lebanon. Appointed in January of this year, this is his second stint at the helm of Czechia, as he also oversaw five games in 2009.
Czechia key player: Patrik Schick
Joint-top scorer at the last EURO, Schick is capable of scoring with either foot and with his head, and always seems to be in the right place at the right time. He has plenty of experience and confidence, as demonstrated by his incredible long-distance strike against Scotland, which was voted Goal of the Tournament at EURO 2020. Schick will look to carry the momentum from his fantastic season with Bayer Leverkusen into these finals.
Czechia one to watch: Pavel Šulc
The 23-year-old midfielder only made his senior international debut in March but is a hugely promising prospect. An agile and creative playmaker, he has scored regularly in the Czech league and was one of the key players in Viktoria Plzeň's run to the Europa Conference League quarter-finals. Hašek has labelled Šulc one of the future stars of his side.
