Petr Vlachovsky also was given a five-year domestic coaching ban issued by a criminal judge after it was determined the former coach at 1. FC Slovacko filmed women in changing rooms and showers over a four-year period.
The punishment was handed down in 2025 but came to light last month when several players spoke out on local news site, Seznam.
The verdict had been issued without a trial and the players could not appeal.
