David Zima (born 8 November 2000) is a Czech professional footballer who plays as a defender for Slavia Prague and the Czech Republic national team.
On 1 February 2020, Zima joined Slavia Prague on loan from Sigma Olomouc for the remainder of the season, with an option to make the move permanent, after just two league appearances for Sigma Olomouc.[2]
On 31 August 2021, Zima signed for Serie A club Torino for a reported fee of €5 million.[3] During his first season, Zima played 20 league games and helped the club finishing tenth place.[4]
During the 2022–23 Serie A, Zima suffered from a meniscus injury at the end of January 2023, resulting in him to miss the rest of the season.[5] In total, he played in 11 games in the season, scoring one goal.[6]
During the 2023–24 Serie A campaign, Zima made his first competitive appearance for Torino on 21 August 2023, a goalless league draw with Cagliari.[7] Having played less minutes for the club, he was linked with a Bundesliga move during the 2023–24 winter transfer window.[8]
On 31 January 2024, Zima returned to Slavia Prague signed a contract until June 2028.[9] With a value of 4 million Euros, he became the most expensive transfer in the Czech First League history.[10]
Zima made his debut for the Czech Republic national team on 24 March 2021 in a World Cup qualifier against Estonia.[11]
