WARSAW : Poland appointed Fernando Santos as their new coach based on his experience managing a national team and his track record of success, Polish FA president Cezary Kulesza said on Tuesday.

"We wanted a coach who already had experience in leading a national team, so that he would not have to learn on the job," Kulesza told a news conference.Santos is only the second Poland coach this century with prior international experience following Leo Beenhakker who managed the team in 2006-2009. "I pay great attention to two words - 'us' and 'win'," Santos said as he was presented at the national stadium in Warsaw.

The Polish FA decided not to renew the contract of former coach Czeslaw Michniewicz after he guided the team to their first World Cup knockout stage appearance in 36 years at the 2022 tournament in Qatar.
