Juraj Čobej in Partizán Bardejov is an assistant coach and goalkeeping coach also. His last former club was Football Club Artmedia Petržalka. In the summer of 2000 Čobejs joined Artmedia.
Initially he struggled and was not a regular first team fixture.
As a result, shortly after joining Artmedia he loaned out to Slovan Bratislava where he made five first team appearances. In the seasons following Čobej soon became the first choice keeper at Artmedia, however during the 2005-2006 season he was forced out of the game for several months after doctors discovered that he had developed a brain tumour.
The tumour was successfully treated and he returned to the first team to feature as one of the most important players during the club"s famous run which saw them reach the lucrative group stages of the Union of European Football Associations Champions League in 2005-2006. In 2007 after a number of successful seasons with Artmedia Čobejs lost his place in the starting line up.
