editNovota made his professional debut for FC ViOn Zlaté Moravce against FC Spartak Trnava on 13 July 2014,[5] coming on off the bench in the 35th minute following the sending off of Pavel Kováč.[6][7] Novota’s only other appearances that season would be in a 1–1 draw with MFK Ružomberok,[8] where he would win the man of the match award,[9] and a 3–1 loss against AS Trenčín.[10] After retiring from professional football in 2017, Novota devoted himself to kickboxing, where had a sharp competitive debut at the Slovak Championships in Košice, facing multiple world champion Pavol Garaj.[11]
After professional football
editAfter the signing of Ján Kocian as new manager of Zlaté Moravce, it was announced that Novota would be the new assistant manager.[3] He has already held that position temporarily once, when he assisted coach Ľuboš Benkovský the previous year.[3] Novota held the position of assistant manager until 2023. In 2023, he signed three hundred youth players for Zlaté Moravce, one hundred in Vrábľy and up to twenty-two team categories in the fourteenth season of existence, the most youth players the club had ever had.[12]
