after a successful season in the league (15 goals and three assists in 23 matches in Piast Gliwice) and a trip to Euro 2020, he worked for a great transfer. The Japanese Nagoya Grampus spent two million euros on it, which is a record amount in the history of Piast. Świerczok himself signed a 2.5-year contract (until the end of the 2023 season in Japan). And he had a strong entry into the new team: he scored 12 goals in 21 matches. But everything changed after the Champions League match against Pohang Steelers (0: 3) on October 17th. Then, during a routine doping test, a banned substance was detected in his body and he was suspended by the Asian Football Federation, which means that he cannot attend any official meetings.
Jakub Świerczok at the outlet?
But it may turn out that there will be no place for Świerczok in Nagoya, which finished 5th in the previous J1 League season (it was 3rd the year before). – In my opinion, Świerczok will soon leave Nagoya – he quotes his informant, who additionally explains what is happening in the club.
The new sports director, former national representative Motohiro Yamaguchi, is getting rid of all the players brought in by the previous director. Świerczok is an expensive player in Nagoya’s dependence, so he is being targeted to get rid of him. On his example, they show how previous management wasted money. The Italian coach Massimo Ficcadenti and seven players have already said goodbye to the club.
In the summer, apart from Nagoya, he asked about Świerczok, among others Zenit Saint-Petersburg. The 29-year-old striker played six matches for the Polish national team, scoring one goal.
