Biography
Kotůlek played his 400th league game in the Czech (including previously Czechoslovak) top flight in 2004 for SFC Opava, but his team lost against Zlín.[2] His team went on to be relegated in last place in the 2004–05 Gambrinus liga and his career in the top division was over, having earned 412 appearances and 12 goals.[3]
During his last season as a footballer, Kotůlek worked as an assistant coach at 1. HFK Olomouc in the 2007–08 Czech 2. Liga.[4] He became assistant coach of Sigma Olomouc in 2008 under newly-appointed head coaches Zdeněk Psotka,[5] Petr Uličný, and Roman Pivarník. Following Pivarník's dismissal in May 2013, Kotůlek was appointed as caretaker manager until the end of the season, his first such appointment.[6]
