The Czech goalkeeper suffered in Germany, now he got an opportunity. But he has had enough of sitting on the bench

The role of the number two has defined him in recent years. In the 2020/2021 Bundesliga season, he did not catch a single shot, as he did in the following season. In the last one, he started in the elite German competition eleven times, in the current one for the first time. Stable goalkeeper Finn Dahmen is injured and will not be available until the end of the season. Koubek should probably catch the last two games with Stuttgart and in Leverkusen.

As these are teams that are heading to the Champions League for next season, it will be very difficult for Augsburg from ninth place to fight for participation in the European Cups. However, there can be peace in the Bavarian club, its Bundesliga affiliation is safely secured.

He tried to play nice in Dortmund, but he was punished. “We didn’t want to park a bus in front of our gate. From the beginning, we tried to put the opponent under pressure with a press, but unfortunately it didn’t work,” said Augsburg coach Jess Thorup. Above all, Koubek and the defense in front of him were under pressure.

For now, the question remains where Koubek will work next season. Augsburg appreciates his work after five years and, according to Sport.cz, the Bavarian club is offering him a new contract. The owner of twelve national team starts has had enough of sitting on the bench and would like to be number one somewhere. He has sporting ambitions, at thirty-one he still wants to catch.

Therefore, it is likely that he will look elsewhere. In Germany, in France, where he previously worked in Rennes, or in other corners of Europe. He should prefer abroad, so a possible return to the Czech league, especially to Hradec Králové, should not be on the agenda. He will make a decision in the summer, the fact that he will be a free agent will add to his attractiveness.
