Poland National Coach: Adam Nawałka
Adam Nawalka has been Poland head coach since 2013 and under him Poland have improved alot in last 5-6 years. His managerial career started back in 1996 and mostly he only managed in Poland domestic league before taking over Poland national team.
Possible Starting Lineup:
Poland likes to play with a rigid 4-4-2 system and we can expect captain Lewandowski to start upfront with Napoli’s fit again striker Arkadiusz Milik. This is how i expect Poland to lineup in 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Juventus keeper Szczesny to start in goal with Gilik, Pazdan, Rybus and Piszczek making the back four. Poland do have a very hard working midfield and thats where they can hurt teams.
Poland Schedule In World Cup 2018:
Poland have a relatively easy group considering only Colombia are a team who can give them trouble. Poland should have enough in their armour to get the better of Senegal and Japan.
- Poland vs Senegal – 19 June 2018
- Poland vs Colombia – 24 June 2018
- Japan vs Poland – 28 June 2018
