After football
Due to him speaking out against the Soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia, Sršeň lost his job and was unable to continue with football coaching. After 1989 he ran a Konditorei in Buštěhrad with his daughter, Olga, until his death following a short and severe illness in 1996.{{cite magazine |last= |first= |date=2005 |title=VZPOMÍNÁME |trans-title=WE REMEMBER |url=https://www.mestobustehrad.cz/nas-bustehrad/zpravodaj/rocnik-29-2005/bz3-2005.pdf|language=cs|magazine=Buštěhradský zpravodaj |location=Buštěhrad |publisher= |volume=29 |issue=3 |page=27 |access-date=17 March 2024}}
