Poland appoint former Legia coach Michniewicz as manager

WARSAW : Poland have named former Legia Warsaw coach Czeslaw Michniewicz as their new manager after parting ways with Portugal's Paulo Sousa, the Polish Football Association said on Monday.

Sousa had asked to be relieved of his duties in late December after less than a year in charge and paid his release clause so he could accept an offer to manage Brazilian club Flamengo.
