Despite Poland‘s successful FIFA World Cup qualification record, manager Paulo Sousa’s abrupt dismissal in December left the team with a lot to prove. Before resigning to join Flamengo in Brazil, Sousa coached Robert Lewandowski and his teammates to finish second in Group I behind England.
The former Legia Warsaw manager orchestrated a 2-0 victory over Sweden in the European playoff final in his second game to clinch qualifying. In what may be the captain’s final World Cup, Michniewicz’s main challenge will be releasing Lewandowski with a team that combines seasoned stars with career journeymen and unknown young prospects.
At the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Poland’s all-time leading scorer Robert Lewandowski will once again captain the team. He will lead the European team, which includes seasoned players Kamil Gilk and Grzegorz Krychowiak. Piotr Zielinski of Napoli is anticipated to work his magic in the middle of the field.
Matty Cash of Aston Villa will also play for the Eagles at the World Cup after switching his allegiance from his native England to Poland, the country of his mother’s birth.

Strengths and weaknesses of Poland’ squad for FIFA World Cup
Poland will need to build some momentum going into the competition because they have only won one of their last five games. However, their team has more than enough talent to mount an underdog run all the way to the knockout rounds. Whether Michniewicz, a former Polish Under-21 coach and Ekstraklasa champion, has the solutions is yet to be seen.
Poland’s captain, all-time leading scorer, and player with the most appearances, Lewandowski, has never scored at a World Cup. His final opportunity will probably be in Qatar, and he will be driven to make up for his mistakes from previous competitions. The veteran midfielder Grzegorz Krychowiak, who is the backbone of the Polish team, will provide as a solid foundation.
Throughout Lewandowski’s distinguished international career, Poland’s creatives have been doomed by their connection to the great goal scorer. To provide their captain, Przemyslaw Frankowski, Piotr Zielinski, and Nicola Zalewski must devise a plan. Mexico and Argentina will be Poland’s main competition for advancement from Group C, barring any major upsets from Saudi Arabia, the tournament’s lowest-ranked nation aside from one.
