Raków Częstochowa dismisses head coach Dawid Kroczek

Raków Częstochowa has officially dismissed head coach Dawid Kroczek following a period of significant poor performance. The decision follows a difficult start to the 2026/27 season, during which the club has failed to secure a single point in four Ekstraklasa matches, leaving them at the bottom of the league table. A recent 2:5 home defeat against Jagiellonia Białystok served as the final catalyst for the dismissal.

In addition to domestic struggles, the club was recently eliminated from the UEFA Conference League in the fourth qualifying round after losing to Hajduk Split. Kroczek, who had been in the role since May 4, 2026, leaves with a record of six wins, two draws, and six losses in 14 matches.

Speculation regarding a successor has already begun, with media reports suggesting Jerzy Brzęczek as a potential candidate. Other names mentioned in discussions include Czesław Michniewicz, though commentators suggest the former Polish national team coach may not be interested in the current project.
