Karel Kula (born August 10, 1963 in Třinec) is a retired Czech football midfielder, and a current coach.

Club career

After making his professional debuts at the age of 18, with FC Baník Ostrava (with a two-year loan during his spell at the club), Kula amassed more than 200 official appearances with the team. In 1991 he won the Czechoslovak Cup with Baník.[1]

At 28, Kula was allowed to leave the country, spending the next four years in Germany, three of those with SG Wattenscheid 09 - although he made his first division debuts for Stuttgarter Kickers in the 1991–92 season, his six league goals (third in the team) not being enough to prevent relegation (as 17th).

Aged 32, Kula returned to his country, now the Czech Republic. After one 1/2 years with modest SK Železárny Třinec, he closed out his career with first club Baník. In the following decade, he worked with the club, as assistant manager.

International career

Kula played for the youth national teams of Czechoslovakia, as his twin brother Vlastimil. During seven years in the senior side, he gained 40 caps, the first coming in 1985. He did not attend, however, any major international tournament, being overlooked for the squad which appeared at the 1990 FIFA World Cup.
