Lech appoint Pala successor

Czeslaw Michniewicz has been named as the new coach of the Polish First Division side Lech Poznan.

One-year deal
Michniewicz, who has signed a one-year contract, replaces the Czech coach Libor Pala who was dismissed on Monday following the weekend defeat by Groclin Grodzisk Wielkopolski which leaves Lech in the relegation zone with three points from five games.

More emphasis on attack
"I think we can improve results in the future but there is a hard task ahead," Michniewicz said. "I want to train the players in such a way that Lech attack more, but I will not make too many changes to begin with."
