Return to Levski
In June 2014, Procházka returned to Levski. After a successful pre-season with the Blues, he was included in Pepe Murcia's squad for the campaign.[6] On 2 August 2014, Procházka scored his debut goal for Levski in a 1–0 win against Lokomotiv Sofia at Georgi Asparuhov Stadium. During the season he became an integral part of the team.
