In 2004, Kozel started work as assistant coach at the "B" team of Slavia Prague.[4] He later took charge of Slavia "B" as the head coach.[5]
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]
Kozel was appointed manager of FK Dukla Prague in December 2009, taking over from Günter Bittengel.[8] In the 2010–11 Czech 2.

After leading Dukla to consecutive sixth-placed league finishes in 2011–12 and 2012–13, Kozel's contract was extended for a further three years.[9] In 2016 Kozel left Dukla following the expiry of his contract. His replacement was named as Jaroslav Šilhavý.[10]
