This early decision by the club owner and former NHL-er Martin Straka makes it the fastest walking papers for any coach in the competition 30-years-long history (before Kýhos (2009, Pardubice) and Konečný (2002, Havířov) being withdrawed after four games in respective seasons). Newly appointed coaches for Plzeň are Petr Kořínek and František Bombic.
