Petr Vlachovsky was given a suspended one-year prison sentence and five-year coaching ban in the Czech Republic last year after being convicted of filming 14 players over four years.Following an investigation, Uefa’s Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body (CEDB) found Vlachovsky to have breached regulations covering insulting or indecent behaviour and bringing football into disrepute. It has issued a ban “from exercising any football-related activity for life”.Vlachovsky, who coached girls and women at top-tier side 1. FC Slovacko for almost 15 years, was arrested in September 2023 after police discovered the covertly filmed footage online.The 42-year-old was also found in possession of child sexual abuse material.Calls for lifetime ban on coach who secretly filmed women players
