Michal Listkiewicz has expressed his wish to return to his old position

Share:

In a shock move, former head of the Polish FA (PZPN) Michal Listkiewicz stated his desire to return this week, telling TVN24, “I want to go back to the front line.” Because he knows there is little support for his return as head of the FA, he proposes Lato be replaced by Jan Krzysztof Bielecki, who was Prime Minister for one year in 1991. Listkiewicz himself would be the vice-president, or, as he preferred to put it, “In the PZPN I’d be second after God.”

Listkiewicz, who negotiated Poland’s bid for Euro 2012 before resigning in the wake of the massive corruption scandal in Polish football, now senses a chance of a return following Lato’s bungles over the Eagle on the shirts and the tapes suggesting corruption still hanging heavily above his head.
