Romanian media link Edward Iordănescu to Wieczysta Kraków job

Romanian media outlets, including fanatik.ro, identify Edward Iordănescu as the favorite to take over as head coach of Wieczysta Kraków. According to these reports, negotiations have already commenced between intermediaries representing both sides, though no direct agreement has been finalized. Club officials are said to be confident that a deal can be reached with the former Romania national team selector.

The potential managerial change comes as current head coach Željko Kopic faces increasing pressure. Wieczysta Kraków has fallen to last place in the Ekstraklasa standings after the most recent round of fixtures. The team’s poor form includes four consecutive league defeats, prompting the search for a new leader to reverse their fortunes.

Iordănescu previously managed Legia Warszawa from July until the end of October 2025. Despite that stint ending without success, reports indicate he maintains an excellent reputation within Polish football. He has been unemployed since departing Legia, although he was previously linked to opportunities with Dynamo Kyiv, clubs in the Persian Gulf, and a return to the Romanian national team setup.
