After power struggle with Lewandowski: Poland boss steps down! | OneFootball

The Polish national team can't seem to catch a break these days. After national hero Robert Lewandowski recently lost his captaincy, he promptly announced his retirement.

Or rather: his temporary retirement. At least as long as Michał Probierz is the coach, he won't play for Poland again, according to Lewandowski.

Only a few days later, this exact situation has occurred: early Thursday morning, the Polish association released a statement in which Probierz announced his immediate departure.

"I have come to the conclusion that in the current situation, my resignation from the coaching position is the best decision for the good of the national team. Holding this position was the fulfillment of my professional dreams and the greatest honor of my life," the 52-year-old is quoted as saying.

Probierz thanked all employees, players, and fans and concluded with the following statement: "I'm keeping my fingers crossed for all of you, because the national team is our common national asset!"

You could say he lost a power struggle!
