The head of the Polish Football Association (PZPN), Zbigniew Boniek, told a virtual press conference at the time that the national team needed a new manager to put an end to "a sense of malaise" among players and ensure more quality ahead of the delayed Euro 2020 finals and qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The Polish team will in June face Slovakia, Spain and Sweden in the group stage of this year's European championships, a tournament rescheduled from last year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The Polish team in 2019 celebrated advancing to the European tournament for the fourth time after a successful qualifying campaign.
