Lechia Gdansk has a new coach, 39-year-old Vladyslav Lupashko, who has previously worked only in Ukraine. Lupashko has set an ambitious goal - promotion to Ekstraklasa.

Will Lechia Gdansk return to Ekstraklasa?

Lechia Gdansk is in a difficult situation after being relegated from Ekstraklasa, losing several players and having significant financial debts.

What are Lechia Gdansk's chances?

Lupashko admits that the goal is promotion - such expectations are held by the club's management, led by Paulo Urfer. Lechia Gdansk currently has 38 points in the league table, which gives them 16th place, and is 22 points behind the leader, Lech Poznań.

What's next?

The problem is that Lechia Gdansk may soon lose more players, including Rifet Kapić, Tomasz Bobcek, Camilo Mena, or Ivan Zhelizko. Lupashko stated that only those who want to stay will remain, and that one cannot regret those who have left. Lechia Gdansk's last match was a 2:3 loss to Nieciecza on May 23, 2026. Lechia Gdansk now has a difficult task ahead of them to return to Ekstraklasa, but with a new coach and an ambitious goal, everything is possible.
