After the loud and inelegant departure of Paulo Sousa, the Polish national team still does not have a coach. In the context of this position, Andriy Shevchenko has been the most talked about over the past few days. According to “Przegląd Sportowy”, the back-up option is to be, according to the newspaper, in Belek.
Jan Urban comments on speculation about his candidacy for the position of the coach of the Polish national team
The official reason why Cezary Kulesza went to Turkey was to be a meeting with the judges. According to “Przegląd Sportowy”, these have already been postponed twice, which may mean that the president of the Polish Football Association in Belek is working on the matter of selecting a new manager.

The same source claims that the more important reason why Kulesza went to Turkey was to talk to Jan Urban. Apparently, both sides met and the contract was negotiated, but it was before the departure to the Górnik Zabrze training camp. The trainer was to be offered a contract by the end of this year, but the 60-year-old was not interested in such an offer. After leaving Zabrze, he wanted to be sure of work until the end of the EURO 2024 qualifiers with automatic extension to the tournament in the event of the promotion of the Polish team. The interested person himself decided to refer to these speculations.
– I did not meet President Kulesza in Turkey, and we do not have an appointment. We work calmly, we are preparing for spring – Jan Urban said in the pages, while denying the information that the Monday game with the training, medical and club media was his farewell to Górnik Zabrze.
Shevchenko’s favorite. Nawałka is taken into account, but his irritation is supposed to deepen
The number one choice for the Polish Football Association is still to remain. The Ukrainian, after several years of very good work with the Ukrainian national team, which led to a historic result (Euro 2020 quarter-final), had a very unsuccessful episode in Genoa. He was fired from the Italian club after just two months of work.
Nevertheless, the union officials, led by Cezary Kulesza, see the former AC Milan star as a favorite. However, its high financial requirements may be a problem. The trainer has 2.5 million euros a year, but apparently he has already made an agreement with the president of our federation.
Adam Nawałka, whose candidacy is basically changed from the very beginning, also remains in reserve. The former coach of the Polish national team reportedly already agreed the terms with Kulesza on January 13-14, but the contract has not been signed so far. Nawałka waited for the last week to be informed when he was to appear in Warsaw to get the topic finished, but he did not receive a call from the president of the Polish Football Association, and his irritation is supposed to increase. However, the information appearing in the media shows that the new selector will be announced on January 31 during a press conference at the PGE Narodowy.
