Where in his debut season with Toronto he helped the club clinch the Eastern Division title. In 1991, he signed with Kitchener Kickers, but failed to secure a postseason berth by finishing seventh in the overall standings. In 1992, after the folding of the CSL he signed with Toronto Italia of the Canadian National Soccer League. After retiring from professional soccer he went into coaching and served as the assistant coach for Josef Komlodi for the Mississauga Eagles FC of the Canadian Soccer League in 2011.[2] The following season, he was promoted to head coach for Mississauga, but failed to secure a postseason berth.[3] On January 24, 2013 Erin Mills relieved Komlodi from his position of technical director, and named Szczotka as his successor.[4]
