The coach of Poland’s national soccer announced Thursday has resigned as head coach, days after a spat with star striker Robert Lewandowski.

Poland manager Michal Probierz resigned Thursday following a row over his decision to replace the country's record goal scorer Robert Lewandowski as captain.

It started with Lewandowski electing to sit out Poland's current international window, which includes a crucial 2026 World Cup qualifier with Finland this Tuesday. In deciding to opt out, the 36-year-old Lewandowski claimed he was mentally and physically tired after a long Barcelona season.
