Stanislav Tecl

Vysočina Jihlava

Early career and loan to Slavia

Tecl scored 6 times in 22 matches for Jihlava at the beginning of his career. Describing himself as "a Slavia fan since childhood", Tecl then joined Slavia Prague on a six-month loan in January 2010. He played four league games for the club without scoring during his loan. In April 2011, Tecl scored a hat trick against Sparta Prague B and set up one of the other goals in a 5–1 win for Jihlava. At the start of the 2011–12 season, Tecl scored twice in the Czech Cup 5–0 first round win away against Vrchovina, adding a further goal in a 3–0 second round win at Spartak Hulín. In that season's league he scored the only goal of Jihlava's second round match against Sezimovo Ústí in August 2011. Jihlava celebrated promotion from the Second League at the end of the season, with Tecl scoring his 12th league goal, in a 3–0 victory against Třinec, which secured their return to the top flight for the first time in six years.

2012–13 season: First League

Tecl served as captain of Jihlava in the 2012–13 season, as they returned to the top flight. Tecl scored in the opening game of the 2012–13 Czech First League away against Slavia, converting a penalty after being fouled by goalkeeper Kamil Čontofalský to put his side 3–0 up, in a match which finished 3–3. In August 2012, he scored his club's only goal in a 1–1 away draw against Hradec Králové, as well as 12 days later in a 1–1 home draw against Sigma Olomouc.…

Tecl scored his first international goals at under-21 level in September 2012. Playing against Wales U21, he scored twice as a second-half substitute in qualifying for the 2013 European U21 championship. Having represented the Czech Republic at youth level, Tecl debuted for the senior squad in a 2–0 friendly victory against Turkey in February 2013. Tecl was called up to the national team in September 2020 as part of a reserve squad, which had to be assembled at late notice due to a case of COVID-19 among the first-choice squad. Alongside Roman Hubník, Tecl was one of just two players from the 23 nominated who had previously played for his country. In the match against Scotland, Tecl assisted Jakub Pešek, who opened the scoring, but the Czech Republic went on to lose 2–1.
