Zbigniew Boniek , who is Chairman of the Polish football Association, has said that manager Waldemar Fornalik will remain in the job for now. His comments have created lot of speculation about the manager, who has overseen a disappointing run of results in recent months. Poland recently lost 3-1 against Ukraine in a crucial World Cup qualifying match, which has left the team four points behind second placed England. Poland were already in a tough group trophy for the World Cup. However, results like these against the likes of Ukraine have almost left them with no hope of qualifying for the World Cup.
After the Ukraine match, Boniek has said that he does not want to comment about the future of the manager. Instead, Fornalik is remaining in the job for the moment. Fornalik has been in charge of the national team since 2012 after the team suffered an embarrassing exit in the European championships. Since taking over, he has not done a great job with the national team. However, they are widely expected to get back to winning ways when they take on San Marino in the home match in four days time. San Marino are widely regarded as one of the poorest teams in the qualifying campaign.
“For the moment, Fornalik is carrying on. I said: Waldek, sometimes as chairman I have to take decisions. I would like to be convinced that the team is going in the right direction. That with half a year, four to five months, we are drawing lessons from these failures. That’s what everyone is waiting for, the fans and us. We know that we’re ill, but it’s hard to find a remedy,” said Boniek in a recent interview. The team will be having a crucial World Cup qualifying match against Moldova in June.
