Tomáš Koubek (born 26 August 1992) is a Czech professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for the Czech Republic national team.[2]

Club career

[edit]

Early football career in the Czech Republic

[edit]

Koubek made his league debut for Hradec Králové in a 2–1 win against Mladá Boleslav on 30 April 2011.[3] After Hradec Králové were relegated at the end of the 2014–15 Czech First League, Koubek joined Sparta Prague on a four-year contract, immediately going out on loan to Slovan Liberec for the 2015–16 season.[4]

In October 2016, Sparta Prague ordered Koubek to train with their women's team, stating "women belong at the stove" in reaction to a decision against him by a female assistant referee, Lucie Ratajová.[5]

He mainly started on the substitute bench during the 2017–18 Czech First League, but was later given preference in goal over his competitor, Slovak goalkeeper Martin Dúbravka.[6]

Rennes

[edit]

At the end of August 2017, Koubek transferred from Sparta Prague to Ligue 1 club Rennes for a four-year contract, becoming the club's second Czech goalkeeper after Petr Čech had played there between 2002 and 2004.[7] He made his Ligue 1 debut in a 3-1 victory against Marseille on 10 September 2017.[8]

FC Augsburg

[edit]

On 6 August 2019, German side FC Augsburg of the Bundesliga announced the transfer of Koubek from Rennes on a four-year contract for an undisclosed transfer fee.[9] On 19 June 2024, Augsburg announced that Koubek will leave the club upon the expiration of his contract on 30 June.[10]

International career

[edit]

In October 2015, Koubek was called up by coach Pavel Vrba to the Czech senior team.[11] He debuted in a friendly match against Scotland on 24 March 2016, ending in a 0-1 defeat.[12] Later, Koubek was included in the final 23-man squad for UEFA Euro 2016.[13]

Koubek was not initially included in the Czech squad for UEFA Euro 2020.[14] However, due to Jiří Pavlenka suffering an injury, Koubek replaced him for the match against Scotland.[15]
