Tomáš Souček signed new 5-year deal with Slavia, his current contract is thus valid till 30 June 2024. “I must thank all my teammates and coaching staff for supporting me. I would not be here without them. And then I must appreciate work of my agent and of Mr. Jaroslav Tvrdík. Signing new 5-year deal in Slavia is great challenge for me. I hope we will qualify for the UEFA Champions League which is everybody’s dream here. After a successful last season, we would like to perform even better,” Souček said after the press conference with Chairman of Slavia Board Jaroslav Tvrdík and Sports Director Jan Nezmar.Souček played key role in the 2018/19 season.
