Ruch Chorzow coach Waldemar Fornalik has been named as Poland's national team manager.
Fornalik faces the task of rebuilding a team that crashed out of Euro 2012 in the first round.
The appointment was announced at a news conference by Polish football association chief Grzegorz Lato. Ruch Chorzow were runners-up in this year's Polish league.
Previous national coach Franciszek Smuda left after the team's exit from Euro 2012, which Poland co-hosted with its neighbour Ukraine.
