Michal Probierz resigned as Poland's national football manager after a dispute regarding the replacement of Robert Lewandowski as team captain. Lewandowski, who indicated his discontent with the way he was informed of the decision, announced he would not play under Probierz. In his resignation statement, Probierz emphasized that his decision was in the best interest of the national team. He took over in 2023 and faced challenges, including early elimination from Euro 2024 and ongoing struggles in World Cup qualifiers. Poland sits third in their group with six points from three matches.
Probierz expressed that stepping down as coach was the best decision for the national team’s future, stating it was an honor to serve in this role.
Lewandowski announced he would not play for Poland under Probierz and was hurt by the abruptness of his captaincy change, which he learned while parenting.
