Michal Daněk (born 6 July 1983) is a Czech former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper. He works as youth goalkeeper coach of FC Baník Ostrava.
He notably played for Baník Ostrava, whom he has supported throughout his life.[1] Daněk was a member of the squad of Baník Ostrava in the 2003–04 season, when Baník won the league title.
Club career[edit]
In 2006, Daněk joined Viktoria Plzeň. In the 2006–07 Gambrinus liga, Daněk was one of four players in the league to play every minute of every match.[2] Daněk claimed in August 2007 he was to meet Celtic for signing talks.[3]
In January 2008 he linked up with West Bromwich Albion for a few days' training on trial.[4] He then signed on loan for six months, with a view to a permanent deal.[5] On 31 January 2008, Daněk signed for Albion on loan for the rest of the season.[6] His loan was extended at the end of the season by six months until 1 January 2009.[7] His loan was terminated on 29 August 2008 without having made a first-team appearance for Albion.[8]
Daněk returned to Viktoria Plzeň afterwards. He won the Czech Cup with the club in 2010. In the same year, he moved to Baník Ostrava on loan.
International career[edit]
He was called up to play internationally for the Czech Republic in March 2010, though he did not play in the match.
Later career[edit]
In the summer 2020, Daněk returned to Baník Ostrava as a goalkeeper coach at the academy and assistant coach of the clubs B-team.[9][10][11][12] In the fall 2022, he was promoted to the first team staff, remaining his role as goalkeeper coach.[13]
