On Thursday, we wrote on Sport.pl that. Our information showed that the owner of Legia will resign from the position he has held since March 2017, i.e. from the moment when he bought shares from Bogusław Leśnodorski and Maciej Wandzl, and became the majority owner of the club.
Mioduski was to give up some power in the club, and Marcin Herra was to take his place. On Thursday, Legia announced that Herra was joining the board, but for the position of vice-president. Although, according to the official statement, Mioduski has retained the position of president, he still gives up some power. From Thursday, Herra will be the vice-president responsible for the entire organizational, commercial and communication area of the club.
– For every Legia fan, today’s situation is extremely difficult. Apart from the Fans’ constant support for the team, the club needs effective action to overcome the current crisis. This applies to sports, organizational and communication aspects. For this reason, we are introducing significant changes to the structure, division of responsibilities and personal details. Marcin Herra, who has extensive experience in effective operation in difficult and complex sports, organizational and business ventures, joins the club’s management board. Marcin Herra will be the managing vice president – said Mioduski.
Herra has not yet spoken, but the club announced that on March 4 he will present an action plan for the coming period in the areas for which he is responsible. Herra has worked in the past, among others in PL.2012, which was responsible for coordinating preparations for Euro 2012, and which later managed the national stadium in Warsaw. Herra was also vice-president of the Handball Federation in Poland.
Organizational changes in Legia Warszawa
The changes in Legia are caused by the club’s worst sports situation in years, organizational turmoil, increasing debt, as well as Mioduski’s non-football activities. It all caused growing dissatisfaction among fans.
Legia fans protested against Mioduski in the previous season, demanding his resignation from the chairmanship. In these competitions, the situation returned with redoubled strength.
For Friday’s league game against Wisła Kraków at Łazienkowska Street, Legia fans are planning a protest against Mioduski’s actions. “We are heading to the first league. There are no premises that would contradict the statement in the previous sentence. We are losing and barely tied with the teams neighboring us in the table. Why should it be better? ” – we read in the statement of “Unknown Perpetrators”, i.e. the Legia fan group.
The European performances affected the team’s disposition in the league so much that at this moment, after 21 matches, Aleksandar Vukovic’s team is on the penultimate place in the table with 19 points on the account. Legionnaires who have one more match left over to a safe place lose three points.
