Jiracek joined Hamburg in August 2012 from Bundesliga rivals Wolfsburg, also on a four-year contract. The club agreed his early departure after he failed this season to get a spot in the squad.
The 29-year-old Jiracek played 28 games for the Czech Republic. But his last game was a year ago and he lost his place in the national squad after failing to make the starting lineup at Hamburg.
