A media saga related to the search for candidates for one of the most important coaching positions in Poland sports comes to an end. We’ll find out in two days who will lead Polish national team in the Euro 2024 qualifiers, which will start in March.
Conference at the National Stadium
Information about the date of announcement of the new coach Robert Lewandowski and his teammates was published on Twitter by the president of PZPN Cezary Kulesza. According to the announcement, the press conference will be held on Tuesday, January 24 at the National Stadium. Its guest will be a coach selected by the football headquarters, who will answer the first questions of Polish journalists.
At the moment, everything indicates that the Portuguese Paulo Bento will be a guest at the most important football facility in the country. It is the former coach of the national team of Portugal and South Korea who is currently the main favorite to start working with the Polish national team.
Recently, however, Cezary Kulesza has become known as an active negotiator who, by calling certain names, could strengthen his position during talks on topic potential contract. Thus, the involvement of the president of the Polish Football Association, Vladimir Petkovic, cannot be ruled out. At the same time, it seems practically certain that they will not work with the Polish national team Steven Gerrard or Herve Renard.
Hot debates
In recent years, presentations of new coaches of the Polish national team have been full of emotions, difficult questions and debates about their skills. Conference where Zbigniew Boniek gave the name of Paulo Sousa lasted well over an hour, and during it many memorable expressions were made, such as “Zibi, top”, which came into everyday use.
The official greeting of Czesław Michniewicz was also extremely hot, mainly due to questions about his acquaintance with the head of the football mafia, Ryszard Forbich. It is therefore possible that this time the first appearance of the new coach will be talked about for weeks.
