Wieczysta Cracovia officially dismissed head coach Zeljko Kopic following a 1-2 defeat to Gornik Zabrze. The club announced the separation from the technical staff during the night between Saturday and Sunday, confirming that assistant coach Florentin Petre and analyst Cosmin Bujor also departed alongside the Croatian manager.
Kopic managed eleven matches for Wieczysta, recording one win, two draws, and five points with an 11-21 goal difference since his appointment in August. The dismissal followed five consecutive league defeats and a Polish Cup elimination by third-tier Avia Swidnik, leaving the team occupying last place in the Polish top flight with eight points after fourteen rounds.
Reports suggest former Romania manager Edi Iordănescu is among the candidates to replace Kopic at the struggling side. Iordănescu previously managed Legia Warsaw from July to October 2025, winning the Polish Super Cup during his brief tenure in the country.
Kopic arrived in Poland after managing Dinamo between 2023 and 2026, where he secured playoff qualification in his final two seasons. Despite this previous success in Romania, he could not replicate those results at Wieczysta, leading to his departure after less than three months in charge.
