Mariusz Lewandowski (Polish pronunciation: [ˈmarjuʂ lɛvanˈdɔfski]; born 18 May 1979) is a Polish professional football manager and former player. He was most recently in charge of Polish I liga club Bruk-Bet Termalica Nieciecza.[2]

He mainly played as a centre-back, but could also play as a defensive midfielder. He spent the majority of his club career with Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk, with whom he won the UEFA Cup, five Ukrainian Premier League titles and 3 Ukrainian Cups. In 2009, he was named Polish Footballer of the Year.[3]

Club career

[edit]

Born in Legnica, Lewandowski started his career with the Polish club Zagłębie Lubin in 1996.

After a short time in Dyskobolia Grodzisk, he was bought by Ukrainian Premier League club Shakhtar Donetsk in 2001. For nine seasons, Lewandowski was an integral part of the team, which won 5 Ukrainian Championships and 3 Ukrainian Cups during his spell in Donetsk. On 20 May 2009, he played in the final of the UEFA Cup against Werder Bremen, with Shakhtar claiming the trophy.[4]

In July 2010, he signed with fellow Ukrainian Premier League side PFC Sevastopol.[5] On 27 November 2013, he left the Crimean club.

On 24 September 2014, after remaining a free agent for 10 months, he announced his retirement.

International career

[edit]

He was named in the 23-man Poland's 2006 World Cup squad held in Germany.[6] He was also a member of the Poland squad at Euro 2008.[7]

After Franciszek Smuda took over the national team in 2009, he stopped playing for Poland.

He was however, called up by Waldemar Fornalik in October 2013 for the matches against Ukraine[8] and England in the qualification campaign for the World Cup.[9]

Coaching career

[edit]

On 28 November 2017, Lewandowski took over as head coach of Zagłębie Lubin, replacing Piotr Stokowiec, who had been dismissed the day before.[10] Due to the team's poor results in the autumn round of the 2018–19 season and the Polish Cup, Zagłębie Lubin dismissed Lewandowski from his position as head coach on 29 October 2018.[11]

On 8 January 2020, Lewandowski took up the position of head coach of I liga club Bruk-Bet Termalica Nieciecza, a position he held until 13 December 2021.[12][13] From 25 April 2022 to 16 April 2023, he managed Radomiak Radom in the Ekstraklasa.[14] On 16 June 2023, after less than three and a half years since his last appointment, he returned to Bruk-Bet Termalica.[15] On 11 March 2024, his dismissal was announced due to unsatisfactory results.[16]
