Drama unfolds in Polish football as national team coach Michal Probierz has stepped down after a heated dispute with record goal scorer Robert Lewandowski. The conflict erupted following Probierz's decision to replace Lewandowski as captain with Piotr Zielinski. ⚽️
Lewandowski, speaking on a Polish news site, shared that he felt hurt after receiving a brief call just as he was putting his children to bed; a statement about the change soon appeared on the Polish Football Association website.
In his resignation statement, Probierz mentioned that coaching Poland was his dream job and one of his greatest honors, but current tensions led him to step aside for the good of the national team.
With Poland currently third in Group G of the 2026 qualifiers and set to face the Netherlands on September 4, this dramatic turn of events sparks discussions on leadership, trust, and the future dynamics of the team. ⚡️
