Former Poland Coach Probierz Reportedly Set to Take Reins of Kazakhstan National Team
Warsaw, Poland - October 6, 2025 – Just months after resigning as the head coach of the Poland national football team, Michał Probierz is poised for a swift return to international management, reportedly agreeing to terms to lead the Kazakhstan national squad. The unexpected growth marks a dramatic turn for the coach,who stepped down from his position with the Polish Football Association (PZPN) after a brief tenure.
Probierz’s departure from the Polish national team, finalized after submitting his resignation to PZPN President Cezary Kulesza, occured following only a few days in the role.Jan Urban was subsequently appointed as his replacement after a month-long search.The move to Kazakhstan places Probierz directly into a competitive qualifying group for the next FIFA World Cup, facing challenging opponents including Belgium, liechtenstein, North Macedonia, and Wales.
In recent weeks,Probierz maintained a low public profile,primarily sharing images of himself playing golf,leading to speculation about his immediate future. However, local media outlets began linking him to the vacant Kazakhstan position, previously held by Stanislav Cherchesov and, temporarily, Talghat Baisufinov. Other candidates reportedly considered included Massimo carrera and Janne Andersson.
The news gained traction this morning when journalist Mateusz Borek announced on Kanale Sportowym that Probierz had reached an agreement with the Kazakhstan Football Federation.”I just received some engaging information,” Borek stated. “There was recent talk of three Polish coaches – Skorża, Michniewicz, and Probierz – perhaps going to China, but there had been ongoing discussions with Kazakhstan for some time. it seems that is now coming to fruition.”
The appointment represents a significant opportunity for Probierz to quickly re-establish himself on the international stage. Kazakhstan competes in Group J of the World Cup qualifiers, presenting a demanding path toward potential qualification.
