Poland boss backs Pietuszewski: “It’s the start of a fantastic career” | OneFootball

Jan Urban, the coach of Poland, has called up Oskar Pietuszewski, a 17-year-old winger from FC Porto, for the first time. In an interview with ‘Kanal Sportowy’, the Polish coach explained his decision to include the young player in a group that also features Bednarek and Kiwior.

“Besides what he did at Jagiellonia and in the youth ranks, he transferred to a big foreign club and is showing that he can make his mark there. That gave me additional reasons to call him up,” explained Jan Urban. “For me, this is still just the beginning of a fantastic career for Oskar; he’s had a very good start,” he added.

Poland will face Albania on the 26th of this month, in the first round of the European playoff for qualification to next summer’s World Cup. If they advance, they will then face either Ukraine or Sweden, and in that match, the winner will secure a place in the World Cup.
