Early life

edit

Chytil was born in Skalka, Prostějov District.[2]

Club career

edit

Chytil made his professional debut for Sigma Olomouc in 2018.[3] He was sent on loan to FK Pardubice during the 2021–22 Czech First League, scoring five goals.[4] This loan caused then-coach of Sigma Olomouc Jiří Krejčí to regret Chytil's departure.[5]

In the 2022–23 Czech First League season, Chytil helped Sigma Olomouc to finish sixth place.[6] He signed for SK Slavia Prague at the end of May 2023,[7] signing a contract until June 2027.[8]

International career

edit

Having represented the Czech Republic at under-17 and under-20 level,[1] Chytil received his first call-up to the Czech Republic senior squad in November 2022.[9] He debuted with a hat-trick in a UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying against the Faroe Islands, ending in a 5–1 victory for the Czechs.[10]

On 20 June 2023, Chytil scored in a 4–1 friendly victory over Montenegro.[11] Later that September, he assisted the decisive goal in a 1-1 friendly draw against Hungary.[12]

On 29 May 2024, Chytil was included in the final 26-man Czech squad of the UEFA Euro 2024 which would occur in June.[13] Prior to the tournament, he played prepatory friendly matches against Malta and North Macedonia, scoring another brace in a thrashing 7–1 victory against the former opponent.[14]
