New Poland manager Jan Urban says it was a big mistake for former coach Michal Probierz to have stripped star striker Robert Lewandowski of captaincy.
Recall that the 36-year-old retired from international football earlier in the year after being stripped of the captaincy by Probierz.
Probierz has since left the position and was replaced by Jan Urban, who is looking to fix the relationship with arguably Poland’s greatest ever player.

“For me, Lewandowski is a striker who, if you create a chance for him, will do his job perfectly. In my opinion, Probierz, the former manager, made a mistake by taking away the captain’s armband,” Urban told TribalFootball.
“Robert is a very important figure for our national team. Age? Sorry, but the numbers he’s putting up are excellent, and he’s doing it in the Spanish league, not in Saudi Arabia.”
Lewandowski hasn’t shown any signs of slowing down having scored 42 goals and provided three assists in his 52 games for Barcelona last season.
