Michal Probierz has resigned as manager of the Poland national football team after a disappointing World Cup qualifier loss to Finland and amid tensions following Robert Lewandowski's decision to quit the national team. Lewandowski's discontent stemmed from the captaincy change, which saw him replaced by Piotr Zielinski. Probierz acknowledged that his resignation was in the best interest of the team, despite it being a dream role. During his tenure, which began in September 2023, he managed 21 games, winning nine, drawing five, and losing seven, culminating in Poland finishing last in their Euro 2024 group.
Michal Probierz resigned as Poland's national team manager after Robert Lewandowski announced he would not play under him, following a disappointing World Cup qualifier loss to Finland.
Probierz stated, 'In the current situation the best decision for the good of the national team will be my resignation from the position of coach.'
After Poland's 2-1 defeat in Finland, Probierz's resignation followed Lewandowski's public remarks about not playing due to the captaincy change.
‘Performing this function was the fulfilment of my professional dreams and the greatest honour in my life,’ Probierz expressed in his resignation statement.
