Kukucka played one second division match for the club, as well as seven matches in the Regionalliga Bayern. Joti Chatzialexiou, Nürnberg's board member for sport, said that Michal has made good progress in his development through their goalkeeper training over the past one and a half years and that it is now important that he also regularly gets match practice.

The Slovakian goalkeeper is set to play for Slovenian top-flight club FC Koper in the second half of the season, according to BILD information. At FCN, Kukucka was the fourth-choice goalkeeper. It is expected that the talented goalkeeper will gain match practice in Slovenia.
