Cracovia has a new coach. This is the legend of Legia Warszawa

47-year-old Aleksandar Vuković replaced Bartosz Grzelak, who was fired on Sunday, after a 1-2 defeat in the Krakow derby against Wisła. The Serb will be the third coach working in Cracovia this year - after Grzelak and Luka Elsner.

Polish Championship with Legia

As a footballer, Vuković played 242 matches in the top league, representing Legia Warszawa and Korona Kielce. With the Warsaw club, he won the national championship twice and the Polish Cup once.

He started his coaching career on the training staffs of Korona and Legia. In April 2019, he became the first coach of the Warsaw team, and in the next season he led it to the Polish championship.

He returned to Legia after a year, successfully undertaking the mission of keeping the team in the top league. In October 2022, he became the coach of Piast Gliwice, where he worked for nearly three years, taking first fifth and then 10th place twice with the team.

Released from Widzew

Most recently, he managed Widzew Łódź. He started working for this club on March 5 this year, and fulfilled the task of keeping the team in the top league, but after a disappointing start to the season, he was fired on September 10.

Keep Cracovia in the top league

In Cracovia, the task before him will be similar - to stay in the top league. Currently, the Krakow team is 14th in the table with 12 points. Raków Częstochowa, which is in the relegation zone, has the same number.

In his first match, Vuković will lead "Pasy" against Jagiellonia Białystok on November 21.
