Lewandowski back for Poland after manager change | OneFootball

The new coach of the Polish national team, Jan Urban, announced this Friday (29) the return of Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski for the upcoming matches of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers.

Last June, the Barça top scorer announced his retirement from the national team after a disagreement with then-coach Michal Probierz, who had stripped him of the captain's armband. Probierz resigned shortly thereafter.

“Robert Lewandowski will be the team captain (…) The decision is final and I consider the armband issue resolved,” confirmed Urban, as quoted in a statement from the Polish Football Federation.

At 37 years old, Lewandowski has played 157 matches for the Polish national team, scoring 84 goals since his debut in 2008.

Poland will face the Netherlands on September 4 in Rotterdam and, three days later, will host Finland in Chorzow.
