They leaked backstage after the scandal in the Polish national team. “These were not normal days”
The huge earthquake around the Polish football national team dominated the last several days. Now there is more and more information from the inside of the staff.
The Polish Football Association, headed by President Cezary Kulesza, is currently directing all his forces towards overwhelming the issue of a new selector for the most important team in the country. This is the result of giving up the position of Michał Probierz.
The scandal in the Polish team. Significant words from the staff of Michał Probierz
There is no question that in recent months a lot of bad happened, looking at the results or sports level presented by the representation. The fact is, the Poles won two matches to open the elimination of the World Cup 2026, playing Lithuania (1: 0) and Malta (2: 0), but the style of these victories was far from ideal.
In addition, in the band itself it also boiled more and more, at least looking through the prism of the decisions made. One of the assistants of coach Probierz in the national team took the voice on the last June grouping. Sebastian Mila is a character who repeatedly – as a footballer – appeared on the pitch in national colors. His most famous hit is a 2: 0 goal in the winning – historically the first – clash with Germany in the EURO 2016 qualifying rounds.
For several years, “Mille” has been out of the ball as a player, currently walking with a football, coaching path. One of the most important challenges was the aforementioned role of the assistant in a wide team at Probierz.
How were Captain Śląska Wrocław or Lechia Gdańsk summed up what happened during the June grouping of the team? More precisely, its second part, just before and after the match with Finland?
– These were not normal days, as always, during the national team matches (…) there was a very big confusion, but also with such situations you have to manage. These were difficult days – Mila said in an interview for WP/SportoweFakty.
Michał Prdyk gave up the role of the Polish national team coach
It is worth recalling that Michał Prdyk became the coach of the Polish national team in September 2023. The Polish trainer replaced Fernando Santos in this position. The Portuguese, European champion of 2016, compromised at work in Poland. Printer, previously leading the U-21 team (from July 2022), got several tasks to perform, with a short and longer period of implementation.
Ultimately, Printer was promoted to Euro 2024, though not directly, and after winning matches in the play -off phase to the tournament in Germany. However, Poles managed to score only one point and dropped out after group competitions. In addition, Poles failed to stay in the division of the League of Nations, losing the decisive match for PGE Narodowy with Scotland (1: 2).
In the case of the elimination of the 2026 World Cup, the Polish team looked very average. After minimal wins over much lower listed, Lithuania (1: 0) and Malta (2: 0), last Tuesday (i.e. June 10) Poland lost away with Finland (1: 2).
In addition, there was The band scandal, as a result of which Robert Lewandowski was deprived of the role of captain on the phone (!), then “Lewy” gave up playing in the squad – as long as the selector is a Term – until finally the coach resigned from work. This happened on Thursday, i.e. June 12, less than two days after the defeat in Helsinki.
