Jaroslav Prekop (born 8 August 1979) is a Slovak football manager and former player who is the manager of 4. Liga side, PFK Piešťany.[1]
Playing career
Early career
A midfielder, Prekop began playing football for the local club PFK Piešťany. In 2003 he transferred to Sigma Olomouc.[2] He debuted in the Czech First League in a 1–0 win against Viktoria Plzeň, playing 11 minutes.[3] His first start came in the next season, playing in a 1–0 defeat against FK Teplice, remaining on the pitch for 62 minutes.[4] He went on to make only five appearances for Sigma altogether.[5] In the next few years, Prekop played for AS Trenčín[6] and Sigma Hranice.[7][8]
Tatran Prešov
In 2006, Prekop joined Tatran Prešov. He scored the winning goal in a 1–0 victory against title rivals FC Petržalka, scoring from a long range shot.[9][10] In the 2nd round of the 2009–10 Slovak Superliga, Prekop collided with teammate David Čep in a match against FK Senica, tearing ligaments in his right knee and tearing the meniscus.[11][12] It took him over eight months to recover.[11] In 2010, he left Tatran Prešov, signing a two-year contract with a one-year option with Romanian club Gaz Metan Mediaș as a free agent.[13]
Dukla Banská Bystrica
In early 2011, Prekop signed for Dukla Banská Bystrica,[2] having previously been playing for the club on trial a few months prior.[7][8] He left the club at the end of 2011, after not having been able to find a spot in the A-team.[14]
Managerial career
In 2024, Prekop became the assistant manager of his former club, PFK Piešťany.[15] Following the sacking of Martin Krajčovič, he became the new head coach of Piešťany.[16] His team faced previous league champions Slovan Bratislava in the 2025–26 Slovak Cup, where they lost 5–0 at home.[17][18]
