Former Raków Częstochowa president Piotr Obidziński has entered the discussion about the club's new manager by commenting on reports linking Gonçalo Feio to the job. On his X account on Sunday, 31 August, he posted just one word: 'Kto?' (Who?), which quickly went viral.
The post garnered over 220,000 views and is a direct reference to the now-famous press conference incident involving the Portuguese coach. The Częstochowa-based club is in crisis after sacking Dawid Kroczek and a terrible start to the season, sitting bottom of the Ekstraklasa table with zero points from four defeats.
Where did Obidziński's 'Kto?' come from?
Piotr Obidziński's reaction is not random. It refers to an incident during a press conference where Gonçalo Feio interrupted a journalist upon hearing the former Raków president's name. The Portuguese coach reportedly exclaimed: 'Kto?!' (Who?!). This moment became widely reported, especially in the context of Feio's earlier accusations. The manager had alleged that Raków's staff used drones to spy on Legia Warsaw's training sessions.
Obidziński, who served as Raków's president until 21 May this year and is now president of the management board of Polish Cable Railways, clearly hasn't forgotten the situation. His laconic post was interpreted as an ironic comment on the fact that Feio is now being mentioned as a potential successor to Kroczek.
Who is in the running for the Raków manager's job?
The main candidates for the new Raków Częstochowa manager are currently Dawid Szwarga and Gonçalo Feio. Commentator Mateusz Borek stated that the final decision will be between these two names. The club must act quickly as the schedule is relentless.
Raków faces two important matches in quick succession. On 3 September, they will play at home, at the Limanowskiego stadium, against Górnik Zabrze. Three days later, they travel to face Lech Poznań. The current squad is not at full strength, as Erick Otieno is sidelined with an injury, limiting tactical options. All upcoming fixtures can be followed on our fixtures page.
What is Raków Częstochowa's current form?
The sporting situation at the club is alarming. Raków lost all four opening matches of the new Ekstraklasa season, including the last one, after which Kroczek's dismissal was announced – a heavy 2:5 defeat to Jagiellonia Białystok. Their goal tally is 5 scored and 11 conceded, giving them a -6 goal difference.
The team is in last place in the table with zero points and is already 12 points behind leaders Legia Warszawa. This gap underscores the scale of the problems. To turn things around, the new manager will need to improve not only the team's play but also its morale. Current stats and the league table can be checked on our portal.
The decision on a new manager must be made immediately. The next test for Raków awaits on 7 November 2026, when the team travels for an away match against league-leading Legia Warszawa.
