Legia Warszawa has reasons to be satisfied after the autumn round. Not only does it take a high fourth place in… top league table and is only six points behind the leader Lech Poznań, it advanced to the 1/8 finals Conference Leagues and the quarter-final of the Polish Cup. Despite this, the atmosphere around the team is not the best, especially after the last defeat against Djurgarden. The club's owner, Dariusz Mioduski, then entered the locker room and a dispute broke out with the coach Feio.
Goncalo Feio on the way out? Legia has found a potential successor
“It was about extensive support for the team by the club's management: from transfers to support in response to the work of referees” – reported by Meczyki.pl. It was further emphasized that two camps were created – the locker room and the people responsible for the club in the offices. This is quite a common practice for Feio, which he already used at Motor Lublin.
The Portuguese's contract expires in June, but it includes an option to extend it for another year, which the club can use. However, few people are currently convinced about this move. “Everyone sees that Feio is a very good coach. But he also has a dark side,” it was added. Journalist Piotr Wołosik has now revealed that Legia has already selected a potential successor to the Portuguese and contact has been made with him.
– I didn't think Goncalo Feio would survive the hurricanes surrounding him. I know that there were talks with Alaksei Szpileuski, the coach of Aris Limassol, who set very high financial demands. In fact, he didn't even bet. He simply talked about his earnings and bonuses so that the idea was rejected. Watching and listening to it from the side, I was convinced that somehow Szpileuski could be convinced by just watching the tape – he admitted on the air.Przegląd Sportowy Onet“.
He added that they are defending the 34-year-old results. -I didn't think Feio would stay. All his antics, running and showing that middle finger. The allegations that have surfaced. There was a media attack on Feio, and he survived it all. He stayed and we can say that he is the winner of this round. Especially since Legia is still, whether someone likes it or not, in the game for the championship title – he summed up.
Szpileuski is as young a coach as Feio, because he is 36 years old. He currently works for Aris, with whom he won the Cypriot championship two years ago. Previously, he ran Kairat Almaty in Kazakhstan, where he trained, among others, Jacek Góralski. At the moment, Aris is second in the table with 36 points and a point behind the leader Paphos.
