Michal Šilhavý (born 29 May 1976) is a Czech retired football player and coach.
Moving to Thể Công of the V.League 1 through his Hungarian mentor at Budapest Honvéd, Silhavy was surprised at the penurious state of locals there[4] and did not settle in well in his first few months, despite earning a salary higher than what he had in the Czech lower leagues.[5] One of five foreign imports, the Czech goalkeeper mixed with two Brazilians, a Hungarian and a Cameroonian, helping The Cong get 14 points from their first seven rounds.[4] He then switched to HAGL in 2009[6] making a penalty save to spearhead HAGL to the 2010 Vietnamese Cup final[7] which they lost.
On the level of the Vietnamese league, Silhavy commented that it was very technical and focused on attack.[4]
