I don’t think we’d had such a situation before: a cup-winning coach needing a public vote of confidence just half a year after delivering the unexpected trophy and Top 6 placement, having just secured the Conference League’s next phase (with all the luck in the world on his side, granted) for the first time in club’s history and outperformed its league projection (a conservative one, granted) to a considerable degree. Unusual, but perhaps increasingly more common now with the flurry of rich owners. The scope of one club’s potential today may look very different in a few months. Thus, Tomáš Janotka is suddenly looking at a prove-it spring despite proving himself at almost every step of the way so far.
