Czech national team midfielder Alex Král (28) will continue his career with FC Copenhagen. The experienced midfielder joins as a free agent and is the very first signing of new sporting director Kristjaan Speakman. At the Danish powerhouse, he will also reunite with coach Bo Svensson, who knows him well from their time together at Union Berlin.

Kral, who played 73 matches in the German Bundesliga and has worn the jerseys of Teplice, Slavia Prague, Spartak Moscow, West Ham, Schalke 04, Union Berlin, and Espanyol during his career, is looking forward to his next career step.

Král is also a regular in the Czech national team. He has 48 international caps and featured in the Czech European Championship squad in 2021.

"I am proud to be joining F.C. Copenhagen, a club I have, of course, followed for several years, and which always manages to leave its mark on European football. I know that the club has had a difficult season, but that only makes me even more motivated to contribute to the team's comeback," says Král to the FC Copenhagen website.

"I know that expectations are high in Copenhagen, and that appeals to me. I have always performed at my best when there is something at stake, and I will give my all to lift the team. I look forward to proving what I can do in the Superliga, and it is my dream to play in the Champions League."
