Miroslav Karhan

Karhan began his career with local club Spartak Trnava. In 1999, he signed a four-year contract with La Liga club Real Betis, becoming the third Slovak player to join a Spanish league club in the 1990s after Peter Dubovský and Samuel Slovák. In 2002, he was named Slovak Footballer of the Year. Karhan joined Mainz 05 of the 2. Bundesliga on a free transfer from Wolfsburg in July 2007, signing a two-year contract. Having spent four seasons with Mainz 05, Karhan returned to Spartak Trnava in June 2011 before serving as club captain for two more seasons. In August 2013, Karhan announced his retirement from professional football and that he moved to a role of sports director of Spartak Trnava.

Karhan made 107 appearances for Slovakia, being the most-capped Slovak footballer of all time, until his record was surpassed by Marek Hamšík in October 2018. He captained the national team.
