has been without a coach since December 23, when the club decided to part ways with Ireneusz Mamrot. The reason was mainly the poor results achieved by the club from Podlasie. Jagiellonia takes 11th place with 24 points. Its advantage over the relegation zone is eight points.
Soon after the dismissal of Ireneusz Mamrot, the exchange of names of coaches who could take over the team was launched. . As Sport.pl found out, the trainer will eventually become another favorite. It is Piotr Nowak.
Nowak has been unemployed since September 2017, when he parted ways with whom he fought for the Polish championship until the last round in the 2016/17 season, finishing fourth. Then he was briefly the sports director of the Gdańsk club.
Previously, Nowak worked in, where he was an assistant coach of the US national team. He also trained the U23 team, as well as two MLS teams – DC United (2004-06) and Philadelphia Union (2010-12). With the club from Washington in 2004, he won the league championship. His name also appeared in the media in the context of the embrace after he left her.
On Monday, Jerzy Brzęczek and Piotr Nowak talked with the owners of Jagiellonia. Brzęczek personally visited Białystok, while a videoconference was held with Nowak. Although Jaga’s activists were more inclined towards Brzęczek, there was a turnaround, most likely for financial reasons. Jerzy Brzęczek wanted to earn about 100-120 thousand zlotys a month and to secure an extensive and expensive training staff. In Białystok, it was considered that this proposal was definitely exaggerated.
Great changes in Jagiellonia. There will be a new president
These are not the only changes that will take place in the Białystok club. There will also be a change in the chairman’s chair. This is what Wojciech Pertkiewicz is to become. He has a lot of experience in this position, because for seven years (2012-19) he was the president of Arka Gdynia. During this period, the club from Gdynia returned to the league in 2016, and then won the Cup (2017) and two Polish Super Cups (2017, 2018). Currently, he is the vice-chairman of the Committee for Games and Professional Football.
As president of Jagiellonia, he will replace Agnieszka Syczewska. Syczewska was appointed to this position in July 2021, when the current president, Cezary Kulesza, resigned.
