Kozel signed a two year contract with FK Jablonec 97 in June 2007.[5] This was his first Czech First League management position. After having won just one match in the opening nine games of the season, coupled with his side's exit from the 2007–08 UEFA Cup in the second qualifying round, Kozel become the fourth manager to lose his job in the 2007–08 Czech First League.[6] Just a week later, however, he was appointed as assistant to Ladislav Škorpil at Liberec.[7]
