Zieliński and Tomczyk linked to Wieczysta Kraków after Kopić dismissal

Wieczysta Kraków officially announced the departure of head coach Željko Kopić shortly after a 1-2 loss to Górnik Zabrze. The Croatian manager earned only two points across eight matches, recording two draws and six losses for a 0.25 points-per-game average during his tenure at the club.

Tomasz Włodarczyk reported that Jacek Zieliński is very close to taking over Wieczysta Kraków. Łukasz Tomczyk is expected to join as Zieliński's assistant, forming a coaching duo at the struggling club rather than serving in a traditional subordinate role.

Zieliński brings significant experience, having managed Korona Kielce for over two years and 84 matches with a 1.43 points-per-game average. He was dismissed on October 19 following a 1-6 defeat to Lech Poznań. His prospective partner Tomczyk previously led Raków in 17 matches with a 1.35 points-per-game average and was dismissed from Odra Opole after 13 games earlier this season.

The managerial change comes as Wieczysta Kraków occupies last place in the league table. The team faces a demanding schedule ahead, with upcoming matches against Motor Lublin and Legia Warszawa following their recent fixture against the Polish vice-champion.
