After nearly four years at the club, Rada decided to leave the club in 2007.

Rada led Dukla Prague from 2022 to 2025. In that time he celebrated promotion to the Czech First League by winning the 2023–24 Czech National Football League, and survival in the relegation playoffs at the end of the 2024–25 Czech First League. He received a red card in his final match.
