Encyclopedia
Jan Koller (ˈjan ˈkolɛr) (born 30 March 1973) is Czech footballer currently playing in AFK Smetanova Lhota.
As an international player he played as a striker for the Czech Republic national team
. He is the all-time leading goal scorer for either the Czech Republic or the former Czechoslovakia
, with 55 goals in 91 caps. With 202 cm height (6'7.5") and a weight around 107 kg (about 235 pounds), Koller has an impressive physical presence and is a constant aerial threat to the opposition.
. He quickly built up a successful partnership with Canadian striker Tomasz Radzinski
, excelling in his debut season and earning him the Belgian Golden Shoe
in 2000. At the end of the season, he was bought by German side Borussia Dortmund
.
During Koller's spell at Dortmund (in which the club won the Bundesliga
trophy in the 2001–02 season), his training as a goalkeeper saw some use in the 2002–03 season. In a Bundesliga match against Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund's goalkeeper Jens Lehmann
was sent off in the second half, and Koller moved from striker to goalkeeper. He kept a clean sheet for the rest of the match, despite good opportunities being carved out by Michael Ballack
and others. Koller was named as the Bundesliga's top goalkeeper of the week for his performance.
His biggest success whilst at Dortmund was helping them to the 2002 UEFA Cup Final
, where his goal could not prevent them losing 3–2 to Feyenoord.
in 2006 but a two-season disappointing campaign, despite a decent scoring record, forced him to move back to Germany to play with Nuremberg. Unfortunately for Koller, who wasn't the only Czech in the team as he was partnered with Tomáš Galásek and Jaromír Blazek
, the Nuremberg-based club had performed poorly throughout the season and were relegated to 2. Bundesliga
at the end of the 2007–08 season.
team AS Cannes
. He signed until June 2011.
and has represented his country in Euro 2000, Euro 2004, 2006 World Cup
and Euro 2008.
His best performance to date in a major tournament was in Euro 2004, when his side reached the semi-finals and he scored two goals, forming a pivotal partnership with fellow striker Milan Baroš
. In the 2006 World Cup, Koller scored the opening goal against the United States, but later suffered a minor thigh
injury. His injury was a major blow for the Czech Republic, which lost their next two matches without him and were eliminated.
Into his third month with Nuremberg, Koller announced that he would retire from the Czech national team after Euro 2008. He finished his international career with 55 goals, including a crucial headed goal in their deciding Euro 2008 Group A
match against Turkey
. However, his goal was not enough as the Czechs conceded three goals in the last 15 minutes, culminating with a Petr Čech
blunder that allowed Nihat Kahveci
to score the winning goal. The Czechs lost the match 3–2, and failed to progress to the knock-out stage, prompting Koller to announce his retirement from the national team.
On 12 August 2009, he announced that he would rejoin the national team because of poor results in the 2010 World Cup qualification
. He played in the match against Slovakia
, but on 6 September 2009, he again announced his retirement from international football.
