# Michal Sadílek

Michal Sadílek (Czech pronunciation:; born 31 May 1999) is a Czech professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Eredivisie club Twente and the Czech Republic national team.

## Club career

Sadílek made his professional debut in the Eerste Divisie for Jong PSV on 4 November 2016 in a game against Helmond Sport. On 7 August 2021, he joined FC Twente on loan. On 19 April 2022, the deal was made permanent as he signed a two-year contract.

## International career

Having represented Czech Republic at all youth levels, Sadílek was called up to the Czech senior squad by coach Jaroslav Šilhavý in May 2019.
In May 2021, he was announced as one of the four additional players for the rescheduled UEFA Euro 2020, if Ondřej Kúdela failed to appeal against a ten-match ban from UEFA due to an alleged racial slur. Eventually, Sadílek got priority over Lukáš Kalvach, Patrizio Stronati and David Pavelka and filled the last vacant place in the nomination.
Sadílek debuted with the senior Czech Republic national team on 4 June 2021, in a friendly 4–0 loss to Italy.
Sadílek was selected in the 26-man squad for the UEFA Euro 2024 on 28 May 2024, but had to withdraw before the tournament after injuring his leg when falling off his tricycle.

## Personal life

His brother Lukáš is also a professional footballer.
