Over the years, football has provided us with numerous – at first glance – incompatible “coalitions.” Who would have thought ten years ago that Cristiano Ronaldo would play in Saudi Arabia or that Lionel Messi would earn his salary across the Atlantic Ocean in the USA?Who would have imagined that Andres Iniesta would leave Barcelona and end his career in Japan and the United Arab Emirates or that the “unknown” Luis de la Fuente would win the European Championship with Spain?Probably no one, and that’s why we adore football – because of its unpredictability.However, the latest news that came this morning from Warsaw was probably a shock for everyone who heard it in the meantime – Gareth Southgate wants to take over the bench of Poland!Gareth Southgate wants to become new manager of National Team of Poland 🏴🇵🇱 https://t.co/Xo8P33Yhn4— KisyAWAY (@kisyrpk) June 17, 2025 As the Polish Przeglad Sportowy Onet exclusively stated this morning, the second most successful manager in the Three Lions’ history and the best strategist England national team has had in the past 50 years, is ready to end his coaching break and start the spell with the Poles. The source further claims that the Englishman offered his services to the Polish Football Association (PZPN).The position of the Poland national team head coach has been vacant for just five days, as former boss Michal Probierz resigned following a falling-out with the legendary Robert Lewandowski. Barca striker then claimed he wouldn’t play for the national team as long as Probierz was on the bench, and the pressure on the tactician was overwhelming.##EDITORS_CHOICE##Still, Southgate is not the only candidate, as the Polish FA has several domestic and foreign alternatives. On one hand, the 54-year-old Englishman is the most renowned name they can get at this point. Nevertheless, he would have to accept a significant salary reduction if he opts to take the “white-reds.”Southgate spent eight years on England’s bench, resigning only two days after the 2024 EURO final which the Three Lions lost to Spain 2-1, on July 14, 2024.Four years earlier, Southgate led England to another continental championship final, but Italy beat the home crew at Wembley on penalties. He also won third place in the 2018/2019 UEFA Nations League and reached the 2018 FIFA World Cup semi-finals with the Three Lions.##NAJAVA_MECA_8983043##
