A former midfielder or defender in Russia during his playing career, he played for CSKA Moscow and Samara, Jarošík has three daughters with his Russian wife Zlata.
Lička led Orenburg for three years and in the past year he won seventh place with him, which is the best result in the club's history. In March, Orenburg exercised the option and extended his contract. Dynamo paid him out of the contract for one million euros (23.7 million crowns). According to Russian media, the former midfielder will earn the same amount per season at the Moscow club. He has a contract for one year with an option for two more.
“Marcel is an ambitious person. Like every coach, he wants to take the next step and sees no problem in that,” said Ličko's agent, Anatoliy Nikolayev, to the Sport24.ru server. “He had a great season in Orenburg and showed what he can do. He has new ideas and thoughts that he will use in Dynamo. The club will be satisfied,” he added.
