Motor Lublin owner defends coaching change after win over Wisła Płock

Motor Lublin defeated Wisła Płock 3-2 in a league match on Friday. Following the victory, club owner Zbigniew Jakubas attended the post-match press conference to declare that his decision to change head coaches was correct. The win came against the former club of current Motor manager Mariusz Misiura.

Jakubas stated he is proud of the team and cited their current style of play as evidence supporting his appointment. He expressed a desire for Motor Lublin to have a deserving staff and to fight for higher goals within the Polish Ekstraklasa.

Under Misiura, Motor Lublin has remained unbeaten in the league since September. The team's last six matches have resulted in four wins and two draws. This recent form followed the owner's decision to dismiss previous coach Stolarski during the summer, despite Stolarski having maintained Motor's top-flight status.

Jakubas confirmed that Misiura holds a minimum three-year contract with an option for extension. This long-term agreement provides stability as the club aims to build upon its current unbeaten streak and improved performances.

Stolarski subsequently joined Widzew Łódź after leaving Motor Lublin. His new team currently sits just above the relegation zone in the Ekstraklasa standings. The contrasting fortunes of the two clubs provide context for Jakubas's public defense of his managerial appointment.
