After finishing his playing career he moved into football management, holding roles across the world. He led Czechoslovakia at two FIFA World Cups, as well as UEFA Euro 1980, where the side finished in third place.

He held a doctorate in Physical Education and also specialised in Psychology. He was selected by FIFA on various occasions to lecture at the FIFA academies throughout the world.
