Jan Stejskal (born 15 January 1962)[1] is a former Czech footballer and goalkeeper coach. In a 17-year playing career as a goalkeeper, he set a Czechoslovak First League record for clean sheets in a season, and spent four years in England at Queens Park Rangers. Stejskal played for Czechoslovakia and later the Czech Republic, for both he played a total of 31 matches, participating in the 1990 FIFA World Cup. He also has served of mayor of Jevany since 2023.
Stejskal began his career with Sparta Prague, where he equalled the league record of 19 clean sheets in the 1986–87 season.[2] He later moved to England, where he had a successful spell at Queens Park Rangers from 1990 to 1994. He was one of only 13 foreign players to play on the opening weekend of the FA Premier League along with Peter Schmeichel, Andrei Kanchelskis, Robert Warzycha, Roland Nilsson, Eric Cantona, Hans Segers, John Faxe Jensen, Anders Limpar, Gunnar Halle, Craig Forrest, Michel Vonk and Ronnie Rosenthal. After returning to the Czech Republic, Stejskal played for Slavia Prague and Viktoria Žižkov before retiring in 1999.
At international level, Stejskal made 31 appearances for Czechoslovakia from 1986 until 1992 and played at the 1990 FIFA World Cup.[3] Following the Dissolution of Czechoslovakia, he played twice for the newly-formed Czech Republic national football team in 1994.[4]
Stejskal worked as a goalkeeping coach the Czech Republic national football team until his departure in 2009.[5] He was also appointed the same position in Sparta Prague in 2011, but left later that December and replaced by former national team goalkeeper Pavel Srníček.[6] Stejskal became goalkeeping coach for the Czech Republic again, this time at UEFA Euro 2012.[7] He joined FK Jablonec as a goalkeeping coach later that same year.[7]
Stejskal has two granddaughters.[8] He is also a qualified mechanic, a trade learned whilst serving on national duty for the former Czechoslovakia.[8]
