Early life

Miroslav Hýll was born in Žilina, Slovakia on 20 September 1973.

Career

Hýll won the 1990 UEFA European Under-16 Championship with Czechoslovakia, together with players such as Tomáš Řepka and Patrik Berger. Hýll played all three group games and the semi-final without conceding any goals, before his team beat Portugal 3–2 in the final.[1]

He spent most of his football career at Inter Bratislava. At Inter he won the Slovak Cup three times, in 1995 and 2000 and then won the double (league title and the Slovak Cup) in 2001.

His best performance in European competition was the 2000–01 UEFA Champions League qualifying round, where Inter Bratislava reached the third qualifying round before being eliminated by Lyon.[2]

Hýll played three years in Iran for the clubs Oghab, Zob Ahan and Bargh Shiraz, interspersed with a short spell in Austrian VfB Admira Wacker Mödling. In 2007 he returned home to Artmedia Petržalka.[3]

Post-playing career

After retiring, Hýll worked as a goalkeeper coach in Petrzalka before compatriot Jozef Hroš brought him to the United Arab Emirates.[4] In the summer of 2013, he became assistant manager of Al Wahda Club under Karel Jarolím. Hýll left after Jarolím finished his tenure; in 2014 Hýll was announced as manager of Slovak team FC ŠTK 1914 Šamorín.[5]

Personal life

He was nicknamed "Beny Hýll", resembling the name of comedian Benny Hill.[6]
