Raków Częstochowa club instability
Overview
Raków Częstochowa’s period of instability has intensified following a series of poor results and coaching changes. After the dismissal of head coach Dawid Kroczek in late August, assistant Dawid Szulczek took temporary charge of the team.
On September 2, the club’s slump deepened with a 1-2 home defeat against Górnik Zabrze. This marked Raków’s fifth consecutive loss in the Ekstraklasa, leaving the team at the bottom of the league table with zero points after five matches. This performance is noted as one of the worst starts to a season in league history, and the crisis follows the club’s exit from the Conference League qualifiers against Hajduk Split.
On September 6, the downward trend continued as Raków Częstochowa suffered a 0-1 defeat against Lech Poznań. The loss, secured by a goal from Leo Bengtsson, further compounded the team's difficulties in the PKO BP Ekstraklasa.
In an effort to resolve the crisis, the club has appointed Tomasz Kaczmarek as the new head coach. Kaczmarek, 41, previously managed Radomiak Radom and has held roles at Lechia Gdańsk and FC Den Bosch. His immediate priority is stabilizing the squad; his first decisive action involved recalling midfielder Marko Bulat and attacker Bogdan Mircetić to the first team after they had been relegated to the reserve squad by previous management.
While the club continues to search for stability, the sporting crisis persists. The struggle appears linked to systemic issues in the club’s sporting model and squad composition following the departure of long-term coach Marek Papszun, specifically an imbalance between aging players and unestablished young talents.
