Jakub Voracek accepts new job, despite having one year left on his NHL contract

Jakub Voracek still has one year remaining on his contract with the Arizona Coyotes. That however hasn't stopped him from securing a job for next season outside of the NHL.

Voracek, 34, has been battling with lingering symptoms from a concussion and has only appeared in 11 games last season with the Columbus Blue Jackets, before he was traded to the Arizona Coyotes at the deadline in what was an obvious salary dump.

On Saturday night, it was revealed that Voracek would be reuniting with his former Philadelphia Flyers teammate Jaromir Jagr in Czechia and has become an assistant coach for Rytiri Kladno.

"Jakub Voráček will be joining #Ryt�ři Kladno's coaching staff. The forward remains under contract with the Arizona #Coyotes." Hockey Worldwide said in a post on Instagram.

The Kladno native appeared in no stranger to his hometown team. Before making the transition to North America in 2006 to play junior hockey, Voracek spent several years in the Kladno youth system and even suited up for one game for their men's team during the 2005-06 season.
