Polish national teams and coaching changes in football

The Polish national football team, led by coach Jan Urban, is preparing for the UEFA Nations League Division B matches in late 2026. The team is scheduled to face Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sweden, and Romania. Speculation regarding Urban’s future as head coach has increased following the team's failure to qualify for the World Cup via playoffs against Sweden. Additionally, young talent Oskar Pietuszewski is expected to miss the upcoming training camp due to a muscle injury.

In volleyball, the Polish men's national team has secured a spot in the EuroVolley 2026 play-offs after finishing first in Group B. Led by Nikola Grbić, the team will face Latvia in the round of 16. Despite low attendance at recent group matches in Sofia, players have expressed gratitude to the fans who attended.

In Italian football, Bologna has dismissed manager Domenico Tedesco following a poor start to the season. The decision follows a disciplinary issue involving Polish goalkeeper Łukasz Skorupski, who missed a match against Napoli after breaking team rules. Raffaele Palladino has been appointed as the new head coach.
