If the Poland squad is packed with experience, the same is true of manager Jan Urban. The 63-year-old began his managerial career at Osasuna, where he was a player, as far back as 1999. His first head coach role was at Legia Warsaw and he has managed extensively in Poland.<\/p>\n
An Ekstraklasa winner as both a player and a manager, Urban succeeded compatriot Michal Probierz as Poland’s national team boss in the summer of 2025. With Poland now regulars at major international tournaments, his objective in these play-offs is clear.<\/p>\n

After Probierz’s fall-out with captain Robert Lewandowski, Poland can now play with a full deck as they seek to complete their qualification quest.<\/p>\n

Big names don’t get much bigger than Robert Lewandowski, Poland’s talismanic captain, top scorer and record appearance maker. At 37, the Barcelona striker is still a threat to any defence on the planet.<\/p>\n
In international terms, he’s an elite player in a team with a capable supporting cast. Lewandowski has scored 88 goals in 163 appearances. Only five players have scored more international goals and only 23 have won more caps. Quite simply, he is a titan of the game.<\/p>\n

Poland have in their ranks a legendary frontman who is a serial title winner in multiple countries, a two-time European golden shoe winner and a player recognised more than once as the very best in the world.<\/p>\n
