Jankulovski - Czech Rep's best player
AC Milan left-back Marek Jankulovski has been named the Czech Republic's Footballer of the Year for 2007.
The 31-year-old becomes the first defender since Ján Kocián in 1990 to collect the award.
Jankulovski took more votes than Chelsea's goalkeeper Petr Čech and 2006 winner Tomáš Rosický.
This is his reward for his service to his country and his role in helping the Rossoneri to UEFA Champions League glory in 2007.
Karel Brückner, meanwhile, was honoured as the Czech Republic's best coach yet again. The national-team trainer lost out in that category to Vítězslav Lavička last year, the first time he had failed to pick up the prize since 2001.
Eintracht Frankfurt's 21-year-old forward Martin Fenin was chosen as Young Player of the Year.
The Czech Rep will continue their preparations for their UEFA EURO 2008™ with a warm-up match against Scotland on Friday.
