Poborsky takes up new role

FORMER Manchester United midfielder Karel Poborsky has been named general manager of Dynamo Ceske Budejovice in his native Czech Republic.

Poborsky was transferred to the Czech second division outfit in September 2005 after a quarrel with the management of Sparta Prague and criticism towards the then coach Jaroslav Hrebik.

He has quickly become a prominent figure in Budejovice, and has a shareholding interest in the club.
