Tomáš Skuhravý (born 7 September 1965)[2] is a Czech former footballer who played as a striker. He scored five goals for Czechoslovakia in 1990 FIFA World Cup at international level.
Club career
[edit]On 28 September 1983, Skuhravý debuted for Sparta Prague against Real Madrid at the 1983–84 UEFA Cup, coming as a substitute to Vítězslav Lavička in the 60th minute.[3]
Skuhravý signed for Serie A club Genoa from Sparta Prague in 1986, forming a prolific partnership with Uruguayan Carlos Aguilera. Tall and powerful, Skuhravý usually attained full shape and proficiency later in the season while the smaller and quicker Aguilera gave his best in the early matches. They gave Genoa a solid attack all-year round. In the 1990–91 season, the duo scored 15 combined goals for tied-third in the scorers' standings, leading Genoa to a fourth place in the final standings.[4] At 1991–92 UEFA Cup, Skuhravý helped Genoa reach the semi-finals in the UEFA Cup until the club was eliminated by eventual champions Ajax. He scored a total of 57 goals with Genoa, becoming the best club goalscorer in the Serie A for the Rossoblu.[citation needed]
Skuhravý left Genoa in 1995 to join Portuguese club Sporting CP, where he suffered a knee injury and was sidelined until the end of 1995–96 Primeira Divisão.[5] He retired from playing career at the age of 32 due to health issues.[6]
International career
[edit]At international level, Skuhravý played for Czechoslovakia and later the Czech Republic, playing a total of 49 international matches, scoring 17 goals. He represented Czechoslovakia with 43 matches and scored 14 goals, as well as six matches and three goals for the newly-formed Czech Republic.[7]
In 1985, Skuhravý debuted for Czechoslovakia during a friendly match against Poland, replacing Václav Daněk.[3] He participated in the 1990 FIFA World Cup, scoring five goals to become the second highest scorer for the tournament. This included the opening goal against the United States and a hat-trick against Costa Rica, in which all goals were scored by headers, the first time in World Cup history.[8]
Personal life
[edit]Skuhravý is divorced twice and has two daughters,[9] one of whom – Michaela Skuhravá – works a fashion designer.[10] After retirement, Skuhravý lives in Celle Ligure, where he works as a restaurant owner and football pundit for a local TV channel.[11] His cousin Roman Skuhravý is a former footballer and currently[when?] football manager. In September 2018, Skuhravý was announced to have returned football as coach of Serie C club Cuneo.[12] He left Cuneo in June 2019 following the club's exclusion from the Italian football leagues due to financial problems.
