The fate of the recruiter hangs in the balance Czeslaw Michniewiczwhose contract with PZPN expires December 31st. About the coach’s future to the fullest extent can affect the so-called bonus scandal. He invariably evokes a lot of emotion and his backstage remains not entirely clear.
Unofficially knownwhich was purported to be the bonus that national team players and staff members would receive from the government up to 50 million zlotys. Eventually, it was pulled from its implementation. Most of all it happened due to media hypewhich still developed around the topic during the national team’s stay in Qatar.
He’s back to it again Zbigniew Boniek in conversation with Bogdan Rymanowski in “Guest of the Events”.
Boniek on the bonus scandal in the national team: it was an unforgivable mistake
– I can’t imagine how such a bonus would be paid. Players give account numbers and what? Who will pay for it? Central bank? On what basis? It was an unforgivable mistake – said the honorary president of the PZPN with conviction.
– This is the naivety of Polish footballers and, in a sense, also the naivety of Czesław. I don’t buy it. He was guaranteed a high bonus from PZPN. So I’m surprised they were interested in this topic. He should have been immediately cut off: “We are rich, we have enough to live on, we don’t want this money.” This was missing. It was a colossal mistake – Boniek said emphatically.
Was the bonus worth it? After 36 years The “red and white” passed the group stage of the World Cup and reached the round of 16. There they gave in reigning world champion France.
– We left the group not for our own merits, but more for a happy result on another field – Boniek confirms.
