Plzen owners death wont paralyze the team
Contrary to reports in the Czech media yesterday, businessman Zdenek
Smetana, who died on Friday following an apparent suicide, is not a
shareholder in Viktoria Plzen, and his death is unlikely to affect the
running of the club.
The 44-year-old was the chairman of the board of Plzenska Sportovni, the
company that owns Viktoria Plzen, but apparently wasn't a shareholder in
the firm, and had no direct relationship with the football club. As a
result, his death isn't expected to influence the day-to-day running of
the Gambrinus Liga side.
Smetana seemingly shot himself in the head with a legally owned pistol,
registered in his name. Police investigating the death haven't yet ruled
out foul play, however.
