The contract of Cheslav Mikhnevich with PZPN is valid until the end of December, and it is not yet known whether the federation decides to extend the contract. According to media reports, Cesary Kuleša is not sure about further cooperation with the coach, and his favorite to replace the “white-red” is a coach well-known to the fans.
Czesław Mikhnevich fulfilled the minimum plan required by PZPN and, together with the Polish team, reached the 1/8 finals of the World Cup. However, the style presented by the white and red left much to be desired, and the so-called. The bonus scandal further undermined the coach’s image, with the media reporting on an alleged conflict between the coach and Cezariy Kuleşa. This puts the future of the coach in doubt, and it is not yet known whether the federation will extend his contract until the end of December.
Who can replace Cheslav Mikhnevich?
According to Robert Blonsky of Przegląd Sportowy Onet, if Kuleša does not make a decision by Sunday, December 11, the question of who will lead the Polish national team in the coming months will remain open, because “negotiations will start from the very beginning, and there will be more candidates.”
Interestingly, the president of the PZPN should have a favorite instead of Mikhnevich. “Kulesha never stopped thinking and dreaming about hiring Andriy Shevchenko. Of course, it would be easiest and most convenient to get along with Mikhnevich - the breeder is interested in further work, but the president is not so inclined. Blonsky said.
The mention of Shevchenko is not accidental, because the former Chelsea and Milan football player was tried on for the Polish national team at the beginning of the year. The Ukrainian was mentioned among the candidates to replace Paulo Sousa, but Mikhnevich won the race for the post of head coach of the White-Reds.
Cheslav Mikhnevich: I don’t put pressure on you
Mikhnevich himself somehow refuted Blonsky’s reports and indicated on Radio Zet that there was no clause in his contract according to which the PZPN should decide on the future of the coach up to seven days after the last match of the national team. - Until December 31, I am an employee of the PZPN, and what will happen next - the president will decide. We will analyze everything, I don’t put pressure on him,” he said.
