🚨 After power struggle with Lewandowski, Poland boss steps down!

The Polish national team just can't seem to find peace these days. After national hero Robert Lewandowski recently lost his captaincy, he promptly announced his retirement. 

Or rather: His temporary retirement. At least as long as Michał Probierz is still the coach, he will no longer play for Poland, according to Lewandowski.

Just a few days later, this exact situation has now occurred: Early Thursday morning, the Polish association released a statement in which Probierz announced his immediate departure.

Probierz thanked all staff, players, and fans and concluded with the following statement: "I'm rooting for all of you, because the national team is our shared national treasure!"

One could say he lost the power struggle!
