Poland National Team Coach: Paulo Souza
Poland let go off the long term head coach Adam Nawalka in 2020 and appointed Portuguese Paulo Souza as his replacement. Poland are likely to keep their traditional 4-4-2 system where Milik or Piatek to play behind record goalscorer Lewandowski. Paulo Souza is rather young in terms of managerial experience but he is known for his very defensive style of play and we can expect Poland as a team very hard to beat in Euro 2020 tournament.

Fifa player of the year, Robert Lewandowski is the main stay of Poland national team but they also have a very good players all around the pitch.

This is how we expect Poland to line up in their opening game against Slovakia on 14th June 2021.
