The club is currently in talks with multiple individuals to fill the managerial vacancy. According to Martin Kmotrík, the selection process is ongoing, and a new coach will be appointed by Monday. Local reports indicate that the incoming manager was already intended to begin coordinating with a new coaching staff at Tehelné pole.

Why is Yaya Touré linked to the position?
