Czech World Cup 2026 tactics: Coach Koubek's system and Schick's role
The Czech Republic heads to the 2026 World Cup with a three‑back formation and rapid transition play under 74‑year‑old coach Miroslav Koubek, while striker Patrik Schick remains their key goal threat. Koubek intends to switch between a 3‑5‑2 and a 3‑4‑3 depending on the opponent, keeping the system fluid.
The side aims to exploit set‑piece efficiency and swift counter‑attacks to unsettle defenses. After early exits in previous tournaments, the Czechs are seeking a consistent showing on the world stage.
