David Sebastian Klement Rozehnal (born 5 July 1980) is a Czech former footballer who played as a defender. He played for a host of European clubs, making over 400 appearances in a career spanning almost two decades, and retired from the professional game in April 2018.
Rozehnal was born in Šternberk and raised in Kožušany. He comes from a sports family, his father was a second-league football player, his mother played competitive handball. His father then trained amateur club Sokol Kožušany, where Rozehnal started with football. [2]
Rozehnal signed for Paris Saint-Germain in June 2005. [3] His form resulted in reported interest from Borussia Dortmund, Newcastle United and Sevilla. [4] Sources close to the defender confirmed that he would prefer a move to Newcastle. [5]
On 22 June 2007, Rozehnal's agent confirmed that a "definite agreement" had been reached for the player to join Newcastle United. Rozehnal underwent a medical check on 25 June and Newcastle confirmed the transfer had been completed on 29 June for a fee of £2.9 million. [4] He made his league debut against Bolton Wanderers the same year on 11 August. [6]
On 31 January 2008, Rozehnal left Newcastle for Lazio on loan until the end of the 2007–08 Serie A despite having only signed in June 2007. After only playing seven times for Lazio during his loan spell, it remained unclear if they wanted to sign him permanently. On 9 June 2008, Lazio officially announced they had signed Rozehnal on a permanent basis, [7] with Newcastle recouping the full £2.9 million which they initially paid for the defender. [8]
After only one year in Italy, Rozehnal left Lazio on 29 July 2009 for German club Hamburger SV, signing a contract until 30 June 2012. Due to a poor season with several costly errors by Rozehnal, he was removed from the first team and asked to find a new club. [9]
On 31 August 2010, Hamburg confirmed that Rozehnal left for French side Lille on loan, with the German club still paying part of his salary. [10]
Rozehnal retired from professional football on 4 April 2018 and joined Sokol Kožušany with his brother, Marek. He made his debut for the club the following weekend. [11]
Rozehnal was part of the Czech Republic national youth football team which won the UEFA U-21 Championships in 2002. [12] He debuted for the senior squad in a 2–2 friendly draw against Italy on 18 February 2004. [13]
