Gašparík stays at Górnik

Michal Gašparík has extended his contract with Górnik Zabrze until June 2030 („Następca Jana Urbana” podjął decyzję! PZPN już zna ten scenariusz – sport.wprost.pl). The Slovak coach had been named among the most serious candidates to replace Jan Urban as Poland's national team coach.

Poland's runners-up moved to keep him at the club, praising the way he rebuilt the squad, strengthened the defence and got the attack moving. Under him, Górnik also returned to European competition, although only briefly.

Urban's position

According to reports, Kulesza gave Urban his word that no decisions about the national team's future would be taken before the November matches in the Nations League. The squad for those games will be announced on 6 November (OFICJALNIE: Wtedy poznamy najnowsze powołania do reprezentacji Polski | Transfery.info – transfery.info).
