KSZO Ostrowiec and KS Ruch Chorzów have both parted company with their coaches after disappointing results.
Antoniak waves goodbye
Ostrowiec coach Jozaf Antoniak decided to step down at the MOSiR stadium after watching his side lose 1-0 against relegation rivals Stomil Olsztyn. His assistant Janusz Jojko will take charge for Ostrowiec's next match but the club's board of directors are still seeking a permanent replacement.
Pietrzak gives up
Meanwhile, Ruch coach Boguslaw Pietrzak decided that he had seen enough after watching his side lose 3-0 in their Polish Cup semi-final second leg against KS Amica Wronki. His replacement is the vastly experienced Orest Lenczyk who has already been in charge at the club on two previous occasions.
'An old firm in Polish football'
"Chairman Krzysztof Rogala has promised me two years to prove my abilities" said Lenczyk. "I hope I can get the results which will satisfy me. Ruch is an old firm in Polish football. I am not interested in working at clubs with only 2,000 supporters."
