波兰华沙(美联社)——波兰国家足球队主教练于周四宣布辞职,此前数日他与明星前锋罗伯特·莱万多夫斯基发生了争执。

米哈乌·普罗别日在波兰足协发布的声明中表示:"经过深思熟虑,我认为在目前情况下,辞去国家队主教练职务是对球队最有利的决定。"

本周早些时候,在世界杯预选赛对阵芬兰的前夕,主帅普罗比尔兹解除了巴塞罗那前锋莱万多夫斯基的队长职务,并任命国际米兰中场彼得·杰林斯基为新任队长。

莱万多夫斯基对此回应称,只要普罗别日继续担任主教练,他将不再为国家队效力。随后波兰队以1比2的比分耻辱性负于芬兰队,晋级前景岌岌可危。

现年36岁的莱万多夫斯基已为国家队出战158场比赛(队史纪录),并以85粒进球成为队史最佳射手,堪称波兰足球史上最杰出的球员。

莱万多夫斯基因随巴塞罗那队征战西甲夺冠赛季后身体疲劳,退出了上周五对阵摩尔多瓦的友谊赛。

普罗别日在费尔南多·桑托斯令人失望的任期结束后,于2023年9月接手球队,并成功带领队伍获得2024年欧洲杯参赛资格,但此后表现挣扎。

波兰足协主席切萨雷·库莱沙已于周三召集普罗比尔兹商讨此事。

库莱沙表示:'我给予教练们很大的自由,但随之而来的是责任。我首先期待的是成绩。' '对国家队的球迷来说,这是艰难的日子。'

WARSAW, Poland (AP) The coach of Polands national soccer team announced Thursday has resigned as head coach, days after a spat with star striker Robert Lewandowski .

I have come to the conclusion that, given the current situation, the best decision for the good of the national team is my resignation from the position of head coach, Micha00 Probierz said in a statement published by the Polish Football Association.

Probierz stripped Barcelona striker Lewandowski of his position as team captain on the eve of a World Cup qualifier against Finland earlier this week, and named Inter Milan midfielder Piotr Zieliski as the new captain.

Lewandowski reacted by saying he would no longer play for the national team as long as Probierz remains head coach. Poland went on to suffer an embarrassing 2-1 defeat to Finland, to put its qualifications hopes into jeopardy.

The 36-year-old Lewandowski, who has played a record 158 games for his country and is the leading scorer with 85 goals, is arguably the most outstanding player in the history of Polish soccer.

Lewandowski pulled out of last Fridays friendly over Moldova, citing tiredness from a La Liga title-winning season with Barcelona.

Probierz, who took over in September 2023 after the disappointing tenure of Fernando Santos, managed to secure qualification for the 2024 European Championship but has since struggled.

The Polish Football Associations president, Cezary Kulesza, had summoned Probierz on Wednesday to discuss the matter.

I give coaches a lot of freedom, but with that comes responsibility. I expect results, first and foremost, Kulesza said. These were difficult days for the fans of the national team.
