Pogoń Szczecin announces a new coach, Martin Masaryk, and ambitious plans for the upcoming Ekstraliga season. The club, which secured the runner-up position in the Polish championship last year, began preparations for the new season on Friday. Following the conclusion of the previous season, where the team won gold, silver, and bronze medals, the club decided not to extend the contract with the former coach, Piotr Łęczyński. Many players, including captain Weronika Szymaszek, announced their departure from Pogoń Szczecin, raising concerns about the team's future.
However, club president Alex Haditaghi assured that Pogoń Szczecin will continue to compete in the Ekstraliga. The hiring of Martin Masaryk, who has experience in leading teams in European competitions, is a crucial step in building a new squad. Haditaghi emphasized that women's football is of great importance to Szczecin, and their ambitions are clear: to build a team that will compete for the Polish championship.
In light of these changes, fans have mixed feelings. While a new coach and new players may bring fresh energy, history shows that previous reinforcements for the men's team did not yield the expected results. Nevertheless, Pogoń Szczecin hopes that with a new approach and determination, they can achieve successes that will satisfy fans and restore the club to the top of women's football in Poland.
