The sudden resignation came shortly after an open conflict broke out between coach Michal Probierz and the team's star, 36-year-old striker Robert Lewandowski. Probierz removed Lewandowski as captain of the national team last Sunday. The latter then resigned from the national team, at least for the time Probierz was in office. On Tuesday, Poland lost 2:1 in Finland without Lewandowski.

Poland currently occupy 3rd place in Group G of the World Cup qualifiers with six points from three games, behind Finland (7 points from 4 games) and the Netherlands (6 points from 2 games).
