On 3 November 2024, according to Slavia team manager Stanislav Vlček, assistant of Hradec Králové Vácha shouted in the home draw 1-1 with Slavia Prague on Slavia player Ondřej Lingr "Cikáne!" ("Gypsy!").[7] Vácha and the club later apologized.[8] He was banned by the Disciplinary commission FAČR for two months and fined 40,000 Czech crowns.[9]
