Łukasz Milik calls Michal Gašparík appointment his best decision at Górnik Zabrze

Górnik Zabrze sporting director Łukasz Milik stated in an interview that appointing coach Michal Gašparík was his best decision at the club. Milik made these remarks while appearing as a guest on the Liga+ Extra program broadcast on Canal+, where he was asked specifically if the managerial appointment was the finest move of his administration.

Michal Gašparík took charge of Górnik Zabrze last summer after ending a four-and-a-half-year tenure with Spartak Trnava. During his time at Spartak Trnava, Gašparík led the Slovak club to three domestic cup triumphs before arriving in Poland with expectations of replicating that success.

In his first season at Górnik Zabrze, the 44-year-old coach won the Polish Cup and finished as league runner-up. This immediate delivery of silverware provided concrete validation for the sporting director's recruitment strategy and set the foundation for continued strong form in the current campaign.

Milik attributed his positive assessment to Gašparík's coaching ability and personality, noting they have established very good contact and cooperation despite occasional differing opinions. He explained that their relationship involves both difficult and easy conversations, which he views as a natural part of a functional working environment within a professional sports organization.

The sporting director emphasized that the entire first-team staff performs valuable work for the club and that collective unity is the team's strength. While describing Gašparík as the captain of the technical area, Milik stressed that the assistants and support personnel execute essential daily tasks that enable the squad's preparation and performance.

Gašparík previously represented Górnik Zabrze as a player in 2011, making 15 appearances with three goals and one assist. This prior experience as a competitor for the club means he possessed existing institutional knowledge and emotional attachment to the organization before assuming his current leadership role on the bench.
