Career

edit

Hipp played five matches without scoring a goal in the Czechoslovakia national football team.[1] Following the dissolution of Czechoslovakia, he played five times for Slovakia and scored one goal.[1] After finishing his playing career, Hipp became coach of MFK Petržalka and ŠK Slovan Bratislava.[2]

In May 2012, Hipp became coach of Slovakia national football team with Stanislav Griga as his assistant, after the Slovak Football Association failed to hire Pavel Vrba from FC Viktoria Plzeň.[3] Both coaches were sacked on 13 June 2013 after a 1–1 draw with Liechtenstein in a 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification.[4]

In January 2016, Hipp became the head coach of the Czech first league team FC Vysočina Jihlava.[5] After an unsuccessful start to the 2016/17 season, he moved to the position of assistant coach the same year in September, Michal Bílek was appointed head coach.[6] Hipp served as coach of Vysočina Jihlava in January 2017.[7]
