Jiří Jarošík (born 27 October 1977) is a Czech professional football manager and former player who is the current manager of Teplice. In his playing career, he played as a defender and midfielder. Jarošík started his club career in his native Czech Republic, winning six league titles in seven years with Sparta Prague. He then headed abroad to continue his football career, spending eight years playing for various teams including CSKA Moscow, Chelsea, Birmingham City, Celtic, Krylia Sovetov and Real Zaragoza. During this time, he became the first footballer ever to win league titles in four different countries. He then returned to Sparta, although only for two seasons, after which he headed to Spain to play for Deportivo Alavés. Jarošík played for the Czech national team, making 23 appearances without scoring between 2000 and 2005. Club career Early career Born in Ústí nad Labem, then Czechoslovakia, Jarošík began his career with Sparta Prague in his native Czech Republic. He had a two-year loan spell at Slovan Liberec before establishing himself in the first team at Sparta. Jarošík's appearances caught the eye of CSKA Moscow, who paid a then Russian record of about $3.5 million to acquire him in 2003. Chelsea On 6 January 2005, Jarošík was purchased by Premier League club Chelsea for an undisclosed fee, thought to be about £3 million. On 27 February, he started the League Cup final, which Chelsea won 3–2 against Liverpool. Chelsea won the 2004–05 Premier League title and Jarošík made enough league appearances (14) to earn a championship medal. Birmingham City In August 2005, after Chelsea purchased Michael Essien, Jarošík found himself out of the first team and was loaned to fellow Premier League side Birmingham City for the 2005–06 season. At Birmingham, he was the team's joint-top goalscorer, albeit with just eight goals, becoming better known for his long-range shooting than the defensive responsibilities which gave him his name at Moscow. After finishing a disappointing season for the Midlands side, Birmingham had the option to make the deal permanent when the spell ended, but following their relegation, they did not do so. He finished his loan period at St Andrew's in May 2006, and returned to Chelsea not knowing where his future would lie, due to there being heavy competition for places at the club. Celtic On 19 June 2006, Jarošík left Chelsea and signed a three-year deal with Scottish Premier League
