Michal Kadlec (born 13 December 1984) is a Czech former professional footballer who played as a defender for 1. FC Slovácko, Sparta Prague, Bayer Leverkusen[1] and Fenerbahçe.
Kadlec made his senior debut in 2007. He has scored 8 goals in 67 caps for the Czech Republic, representing them at three UEFA European Championships between 2008 and 2016.
Early life[edit]
Kadlec was born in 1984 in Vyškov. After his father, Miroslav Kadlec, joined 1. FC Kaiserslautern in 1990, the family moved to Germany in the Kaiserslautern area. Kadlec learned German in kindergarten[2] before he went to school one year later. After his time in Grundschule, he went to the Gymnasium.[citation needed]
When Kadlec's father signed for FK Drnovice in 1998, his son returned to the Czech Republic.[citation needed]
Club career[edit]

Kadlec started his professional career in Slovácko and made his league debut against Baník Ostrava.[when?] He joined Sparta Prague in 2005.[citation needed]
On 14 June 2013, he joined Fenerbahçe for a €4.5 million transfer fee,[3] signing a three-year contract worth €2.1 million per season.[4]
On 12 May 2024, Kadlec announced end of his football career.[5]
International career[edit]
On 17 November 2007, Kadlec was called up to the Czech national team in a UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying against Slovakia, and debuted in a 3–1 victory where he scored an own goal.[6] Kadlec scored his first goal in the same 3–1 victory, this time against Scotland on 30 May 2008.[7]
On 16 June 2012, against Poland in the European Championship, Kadlec headed a ball off the line in the dying seconds, preserving the Czechs' spot in the quarter-finals of the tournament.[8] The striker had beaten goalkeeper Petr Čech and appeared to be headed to the inside of the far post; if it had been scored, Poland would ensure a draw, and the Czech Republic would be eliminated from the tournament.[9]
Sponsorship[edit]
On 11 July 2013, EA Sports announced that Kadlec would feature on the Czech cover of FIFA 14, alongside global cover star Lionel Messi.[10]
