Signs with Hoffenheim
Coufal has signed a contract with Hoffenheim for the 2025/26 season, the club announced. "Following Valentin Gendrey's serious injury and long-term absence, we had to make further efforts in the transfer market to responsibly fill the right-back position for the coming season. With Vladimir, we are signing a player who fits our profile and can immediately fill the gap. Vladimir is an experienced international and has played in the English Premier League. Due to his experience, he will need little time to adjust to our Bundesliga. We are convinced that with his outstanding mentality and individual quality, he will be an ideal addition to our team next season," said Andreas Schicker, Sporting Director at TSG.

Coufal joined West Ham United from Slavia Prague in 2020 and made 180 appearances across all competitions for the Hammers, providing 20 assists. Coufal is also a Czech Republic right-back and has played 55 times for the national team, scoring one goal and delivering 12 assists. He is now joining as a free agent the Bundesliga after ending his contract with West Ham United in June and will be a strong addition to Hoffenheim's backline.
