Summary: Poland - Andorra 1: 4 (Sport 1)

Paulo Sousa stunned the Polish national team this week when he asked to be released from his contract and move to the Brazilian Flamengo.

The country was upset by the timing of the request, which came just three months before the critical playoffs for qualifying for the World Cup, but in the end ex-Maccabi Tel Aviv got what he wanted and signed the new Libertadores runner-up.

After the sudden departure, in Poland they started looking for a replacement and signed four local coaches and two veteran foreign coaches - Jürgen Klinsmann and Dick Advocate.

Whoever is trying to join the race for the job is none other than Abraham Grant.

The Israeli coach, a Polish-born Holocaust survivor, was granted citizenship by the Polish embassy in the UK in 2016.

"I follow what is happening in Poland on a daily basis," Grant said in an interview in the country. "Someone who will take care of the tactics and the atmosphere, who will understand the Polish mentality. I am ready for this challenge and hungry for football."
