Robert Lewandowski has announced he will no longer play for Poland “until” current head coach Michał Probierz is removed. The Barcelona striker cited a “loss of trust” after being stripped of the national team captaincy, with Piotr Zielinski named as his replacement.
Lewandowski, 36, posted the shock statement on social media, stating his decision was due to the circumstances with the current coach. The legendary forward has scored 85 goals in 158 appearances since his 2008 debut and is widely regarded as Poland’s greatest-ever player. He led his country in multiple major tournaments and enjoyed a stellar club career, winning multiple Bundesliga titles with Dortmund and Bayern, as well as the Champions League in 2020.
Since joining Barcelona, he has added two LaLiga titles. The announcement has split Polish fans. Some support Lewandowski’s stance and demand the coach’s resignation, while others accuse the star of abandoning his team. The controversy continues to dominate discussions across social media and national sports outlets.
