Club career

Pešek made his professional debut for Sparta Prague in the Czech First League on 9 November 2014, coming on as a substitute in the 90th minute for Ladislav Krejčí in the away match against Slovácko, which finished as a 2–0 away win.[2] In January 2015, he went on loan to České Budějovice, who later exercised the right to sign him permanently in mid-2017.[3] He then moved to Slovan Liberec at the start of the 2018–19 season.

International career

In September 2020, Pešek received his first call-up to the Czech Republic national team for their UEFA Nations League match against Scotland on 7 September. Due to positive SARS-CoV-2 tests in the previous Czech Republic squad, all players and the coaching staff which faced Slovakia on 4 September had to be replaced.[4] He made his international debut in the match and opened the scoring for the Czechs in the 12th minute, though the match finished as a 1–2 loss.[5][6]
