The management of FK Mladá Boleslav called an extraordinary press conference due to a change in the position of head coach of the first league team Tuesday afternoon, 18 March. The existing head coach, Zdeněk Ščasný resigned and Karel Stanner took his place. Assistants Petr Čuhel and Jiří Ryba resigned along with Ščasný. Successors will be appointed soon.

The president of FK Mladá Boleslav, Josef Dufek, resigning head coach Ščasný, new head coach Karel Stanner and business, marketing and communications manager Petr Svěcený were present at this extraordinary press conference. The press centre was crowded with journalists.

Ščasný took over the Boleslav team on 3 September 2007 after coach Zajíc was dismissed. Under Ščasný the team experienced five wins, six ties and five losses with a total score of 21:22 in the 1st Gambrinus League. After two winning matches in the domestic ČMFS Cup, the team was eliminated by the second league team Třinec. Ščasný also coached the Boleslav team in six autumn matches of the UEFA Cup. He was banished by referees from the coaching bench to the stands four times (three times in the domestic league and once in the UEFA Cup) during the almost seven months of his position with the Boleslav team. Together with these transgressions, he has been interviewed by disciplinary commissions nine times in all since 1995. “I can’t manage certain critical situations if I have a feeling of injustice, so I don’t want to dishonour the Mladá Boleslav club,” Ščasný said in explaining his resignation.
