Boniek is tired of discussing selectors. And he blurts out: “We are mentally challenged”

The Polish national team is waiting for the coach. Although Czesław Michniewicz achieved all his sports goals, he failed to keep his job. Now Cezary Kulesza must choose a new coach. Some experts believe that a foreigner should become the new trainer. Zbigniew Boniek also expressed his position on the matter.

Boniek criticizes supporters of the foreign option. “Let’s not consider every foreigner a miracle worker!”

The former president of the Polish Football Association stressed that one cannot only look at the coach’s passport. The origin will not guarantee success for the White-Reds. In his opinion, a Pole can also prove himself as a coach, as shown by the example of Antoni Piechniczek.

– Today, it suddenly seems to everyone that only a “super trainer”, a supername from abroad, is needed for representative stars. That Lewandowski will run and play for the national team only if he gets a coach who will have five times more top scorer titles than him. No, that’s not how it works. The team’s trust is gained at the first, second, third meeting with knowledge and wisdom, not a CV – emphasized Boniek in an interview with .

– On the other hand, I see that we are so mentally retarded that we think that a foreign coach will be the solution to all problems. I repeat: with us, we often bounce from wall to wall. We want Roberto Martinez – I would like to point out that I value all his work done over the years with the Belgian national team – who did not make it out of the group in Qatar, although we simultaneously threw Czesław Michniewicz into the gutter, although he won such a promotion! he continued.

From Boñek’s statement, it can be concluded that he himself would choose a Pole. He also suggested it in one of his Twitter posts. “We all know how foreign coaches ended up with the team. One in the end couldn’t win against anyone, he overtook only San Marino, he ignored everything and everyone and even advised the foreign club without consent. The second one simply ran away after the change of authorities” – .

However, Boniek stressed that this was a misinterpretation of his words. – I am not taking sides. It is the current president of the Polish Football Association who must make the decision and take full responsibility for it. (…) It doesn’t matter to me whether the next coach will be a Pole or a foreigner. (…) However, let’s not consider every foreigner a miracle worker! – finished.

Kulesza will decide who will eventually become the coach of the White and Reds. . Euro 2024 qualifiers start in March, which means that the coach will have two months to get to know the team.
