Prague: Legendary Czech striker Jan Koller is to play for the third-division French club AS Cannes at the close of his professional career, the CTK news agency reported Monday, citing the player’s manager.
The towering 2.02-metre (6ft-8inch) forward, who turns 37 in March, signed an 18-month contract with the club Monday, the report said citing Pavel Paska, Koller’s manager.
Koller’s latest stint was at the first-division Russian club, PFC Krylia Sovetov Samara. He began his career in Sparta Prague in mid-1990s and later played for Germany’s Borussia Dortmund, Belgium’s Anderlecht, or AS Monaco.
