Probierz removed Lewandowski from his captaincy role and gave it to Piotr Zielinski, a midfielder from Inter Milan. In response, Lewandowski announced that he would be taking a break from the national team until Probierz stepped down.

Poland's recent 2-1 defeat to Finland in a World Cup qualifying match added to the pressure on Probierz, leading him to resign from his position.

Probierz expressed his gratitude to the players he has worked with and thanked them for their support. He also stated that coaching the national team was a lifetime achievement and a great honour for him.

Probierz wished the team well and expressed his hope that they would continue to do well in the future.
