Motor Lublin Appoints Mariusz Misiura as Head Coach
Motor Lublin officially appointed Mariusz Misiura as its new head coach on June 18, 2026. The 45-year-old manager signed a contract extending through June 30, 2029, following a successful tenure at Wisła Płock. Misiura arrives at the club with a diverse background in both men’s and women’s football, including international experience in Germany, China, and scouting roles for Real Madrid.
Before transitioning to the men’s game, Misiura gained significant tactical experience through the German Football Association’s “Bundesliga Trainer” program while working in the 2. Frauen-Bundesliga.
What is Mariusz Misiura’s Coaching Background?
Misiura’s professional path began in women’s football, where he coached Pogoń Szczecin Women and served as an assistant for the Polish national women’s team in 2009. His international career expanded during his time at the German club Hohen Neuendorf and later as a scout for the Real Madrid men’s setup. He also gained experience in Asia, working with the Chinese club Guizhou HengFen.
Upon returning to Poland, Misiura managed Warta Gorzów before taking charge of Znicz Pruszków. According to club records, his tenure at Znicz included a promotion to the 1. liga in his first season. These formative years established a tactical foundation that prepared him for higher-level management in the PKO Bank Polski Ekstraklasa.
How Did Misiura Perform at Wisła Płock?
Misiura joined Wisła Płock in 2024, tasked with stabilizing the team in the lower division. Under his leadership, the club achieved promotion to the top tier of Polish football. In the recently concluded season, he guided the squad to an eighth-place finish in the Ekstraklasa.
Statistically, Misiura’s time at Wisła Płock was marked by steady performance. He oversaw 72 matches, securing 32 victories, 20 draws, and 20 defeats. This win rate of approximately 44% suggests a transition toward consistent results, a quality Motor Lublin officials are likely targeting as they look to solidify their position in the league.
When evaluating a manager’s impact, look beyond the win-loss record. Misiura’s ability to secure promotion while maintaining a mid-table finish in the top flight highlights his adaptability to different competitive environments.
What Are the Next Steps for the Club?
The transition period begins immediately, with the club scheduling a formal media briefing to introduce the new head coach. This event will take place on Monday, June 22, at 14:00. Supporters and media representatives expect to hear details regarding Misiura’s vision for the squad and potential adjustments to the team’s tactical setup for the upcoming season.
