Leo Beenhakker is the new coach for Poland
After leading Trinidad and Tobago to the World Cup for the first time in their history, Dutch Leo Beenhakker will now try to make the European Championship a lot better experience for the Polish team.
The 64-year-old Dutchman is the first non-Pole to coach Poland’s national team. Janas led a disappointing 2006 FIFA World Cup™ campaign in Germany and resigned after their first round exit.
“I am happy we managed to persuade such a respected and successful coach,” said PZPN chief Michal Listkiewicz of Beenhakker’s appointment.
“I believe Beenhakker will introduce a new quality to Polish football and lead us to the European championship finals for the first time.”
