Czech Republic Petr Cech, a legendary goalkeeper, has transitioned from a decorated football career to a technical advisor role and an ice hockey goaltender, bringing his dedication and leadership to various sports and business ventures.
PUMA signed an endorsement partnership with Petr Čech, making him the lead PUMA goalkeeper in the English Premier League. This collaboration involved promoting evoPOWER gloves and boots across key retail channels.
Petr Cech agreed to a sponsorship deal with the UK arm of German carmaker Audi. This partnership likely involved brand ambassadorship and promotional activities.
Petr Cech was born on May 20, 1982, in Plzen, Czechoslovakia (now Czech Republic). He began his senior football career at Chmel Blsany in 1999, playing sporadically for two seasons before moving to Sparta Prague in 2001. At 19, Cech became a first-team regular and set a league record by not conceding a goal for 903 competitive minutes during his single campaign with Sparta Prague. This performance led to his transfer to French Ligue 1 side Rennes in 2002 for €5.5 million (£3.9 million). In France, he excelled with an underperforming team.
In 2004, Cech transferred to Premier League club Chelsea for £7 million (€9.8 million), a club record at the time for a goalkeeper. During his eleven years at Chelsea, Cech made 494 senior appearances, becoming the club’s highest overseas appearance maker and sixth all-time. He contributed to Chelsea winning four Premier League titles, four FA Cups, three League Cups, one UEFA Europa League title, and one UEFA Champions League title. He also holds Chelsea’s all-time record for clean sheets with 228. In 2015, Cech moved to Arsenal for £10 million, where he won another FA Cup before retiring from professional football in 2019.
Čech holds several goalkeeping records, including the Premier League record for fewest appearances to reach 100 clean sheets (180 appearances) and the most clean sheets in Premier League history (202). He is the only goalkeeper to win the Premier League Golden Glove with two different clubs, earning it four times (2004–05, 2009–10, 2013–14, 2015–16). He was named the IFFHS World’s Best Goalkeeper in 2005 and received the UEFA Champions League Best Goalkeeper award in 2004–05, 2006–07, and 2007–08. After retiring from football, Cech returned to Chelsea as a Technical and Performance Advisor in June 2019 and also began a career as an ice hockey goaltender for Guildford Phoenix in October 2019, wearing number 39 in honor of Dominik Hašek.
