Włókniarz Częstochowa hunts new manager as coach Marek Cieślak stays in TV

Krono‑Plast Włókniarz Częstochowa has begun searching for a successor to former manager Mariusz Staszewski. The club ruled out former rider‑coach Marek Cieślak, who confirmed he will remain a television analyst and will not return to the coaching role.

Potential candidates mentioned include experienced speedway figures such as Janusz Ślączka, Piotr Świst, Tomasz Bajerski and Piotr Żyto. At the same time, the club is rumored to be evaluating rider signings, with names like the former Polish U24 rider Zagar, Denmark’s Nicolai Klindt, former world champion Nicki Pedersen and Jonas Seifert‑Salka being discussed. Financial constraints are also highlighted, as the club's budget limits the ability to recruit high‑profile talent.

No final decision on the new manager or any rider acquisitions has been announced.
