Since his appointment, Probierz has faced criticism, with some labeling him as a failed coach due to his tenure at Cracovia. Nonetheless, Probierz considers his time at Cracovia more successful than critics suggest. He maintains a positive outlook on his new role, focusing on planning and organizing his work, which includes watching matches and making team selections.

Revitalizing the Team

Probierz acknowledges the need to restore pride in the Polish national team. He is acutely aware of the atmosphere surrounding his appointment and the pressure to rebuild a positive environment. His experiences at Cracovia, where he led the team to win the Polish Cup and Super Cup after several trophy-less years, have prepared him for this task. Probierz dismisses calls for a revolution in the squad and removing Robert Lewandowski as captain. Instead, he plans to utilize all structures, including scouting for the first team, to understand and address the issues plaguing the team.

Aiming for the European Championship

The primary goal for the Polish national team, as identified by Probierz, is advancing to the European Championship, regardless of the style of play. He emphasizes the need to utilize the full potential of Robert Lewandowski, who he sees as a crucial asset to the team’s success. He is committed to giving people joy and ensuring the team’s success.

He has always had a well-structured work style and vision, which he has bravely implemented. This German approach to order and organization is what the Polish national team currently needs.

Probierz’s journey in football has been marked by his resilience, adaptability, and commitment to understanding and implementing effective coaching methods.
