Club career

AS Trenčín

Kukučka made his unexpected Fortuna Liga debut for AS Trenčín, during a home fixture at na Sihoti, against Spartak Trnava on 6 March 2021. He had to step-in to replace Igor Šemrinec, who had recently tested positive for COVID-19.[1] He managed to keep a clean sheet. In this debut, he won himself a nomination in the official Fortuna Liga Team of the Week. In post-match interviews Kukučka highly praised experiences gained during a trial with A.S. Roma of autumn 2020.[2] Kukučka also appeared in the first round of Fortuna Liga - Championship Group at Tehelné pole against Slovan Bratislava the following week, conceding six times during the 6:2 defeat.[3]
