Adam Nawałka says goodbye to the Polish national team
The match against Japan at the World Cup in Russia was the last match for Adam Nawałka at the position of the head coach of the Polish national team. At the end of July, his contract will come to an end. "I can proudly say goodbye to the national team, I was able to lead the team from the bottom to the top of the ranking. It is not only my success but the success of the entire staff. I am very sorry that I'm leaving, but I am looking into the future of Polish football and into my future as a coach with optimism", said Adam Nawałka.
Boniek: Nawałka leaves the Polish national team with a stronger position than when he came
"I spoke with Adam for the past two or three days. We had a lot of ideas, we also expressed the readiness to continue the cooperation. Even today, at 10:00 a.m. the annex to Nawałka's contract was on my desk. However, when we looked at each other and analysed the Polish national team at the moment and in the future, we knew that as friends we would have to face many problems. The Polish national team requires a few adjustments; definitely, they have to be approached with new enthusiasm. Adam will be the national team head coach until 30 July. Then we will be looking for a new head coach', said Zbigniew Boniek, the President of the Polish Football Association during the press conference at the PGE Narodowy Stadium.
