Śląsk Wrocław president says new coach decision imminent after Simundza dismissal

Śląsk Wrocław has entered the final stages of appointing a new head coach after dismissing Ante Simundza and sporting director Rafał Grodzicki. Club president Remigiusz Jezierski confirmed that a decision on the successor is expected within hours, ensuring the new manager will be in place for the upcoming match against Piast Gliwice.

The leadership change comes after a 1-3 defeat to Radomiak Radom, which left Śląsk Wrocław in 16th place with nine points and in the relegation zone. Jezierski stated that the club had shown patience but felt compelled to react after repeated errors and a drop in standings. The president also noted that his vision had begun to diverge from that of Grodzicki, leading to the sporting director's departure.

Assistant coach Toni Golem is being strongly considered for the head coach position due to his proximity to the squad, though Jezierski indicated that another candidate is also under review. The new appointee will take charge for the match against Piast Gliwice scheduled for November 7 at 14:45.
