Supporters of the struggling Czech club demonstrated their opposition to the Straka appointment during Sunday’s 1-0 victory over Sigma Olomouc.

Straka has strong ties with cross-town rivals Sparta Prague having played for the club for over a decade and it’s this that has infuriated the club’s support base.

Straka, one of the most charismatic managers seen in the A-League after his stint with Fury last season, will need all his charm to win over the supporters.

"I expected this kind of reaction," said Straka, after the win.
