Club Career

Dusan Kuciak was part of Zilina youth academy. Aged 16, he signed his first contract with the Slovak Superliga side AS Trencin.

MSK Zilina

After a two-year spell in Trencin, he returned to Zilina, where he was the second-choice keeper, the first-choice being Jan Mucha. Despite not playing at all, he was linked by the English Premier League side West Ham, where he was loaned for 6 months. In January 2006, he returned to Zilina, and he established himself as the first-choice keeper. He won Corgon Liga with Zilina in 2006–07 season.

FC Vaslui

On 26 June 2008, he signed a three-year contract with Romanian side FC Vaslui. He was bought to replace Cristian Haisan, while he was suspended, but Kuciak established himself quickly as the first-choice keeper. He was the only player that season, who played every minute, and the first in Vaslui's history who achieved this feat. At the end of the season, he established another record, having the most clean-sheets in Vaslui's short spell in Liga I. Also, he captained the team a few matches, while Canu was on the bench. On 4 August, he received a red card in the Europa League match against Omonia Nicosia. On 26 September, after a conflict with team's coach, he was relegated on the bench, and seemed to lost his place in the team, but because of Haisan's poor rating, re-established as the first-choice keeper. At the end of the season, he established another record for Vaslui, saving 4 out of 5 penalties, and also receiving only 17 goals in 23 matches. After three seasons at Vaslui, Kuciak left the club in the summer of 2011.
