Gonçalo Feyio is the new coach of Legia Warsaw and is already making his first important decisions. The Portuguese want to bet more boldly on youth, says Lukas Olkovic.
Legia Warszawa performed below expectations in the Spring Tour. Instead of fighting for the Polish championship, he is only ranked sixth in the standings. Losing to the leader by seven points.
This is one of the reasons for the change on the bench. Kosta Ronjajic resigned from his job and was replaced by Gonzalo Vio.
The former Motor Lublin coach signed a contract with the new team until June 30, 2025. However, he has a lot of hard work ahead of him, because the schedule of matches of the Polish runner-up is objectively difficult.
On Saturday afternoon, they will face Rakov Czestochowa, and on the way they will face Legia Warsaw, among others, Lech Poznań and Ślěsk Wrocław.
The 34-year-old has shown since the beginning of his tenure that he is not afraid of tough decisions. Lukas Olkovic spoke about this, pointing out the main beneficiary of the change of coach.
– We already have the first winners with the arrival of Gonçalo Feio. As you hear in Legia, these are young players. This is a complete change of control and even intense interest in the youth.
– Indeed, during the first training session, he stayed with the young players and worked, and this will move more towards development. Feio is the opposite of Runjaic, who wanted mature players who could guarantee results immediately. He said that the Portuguese wants to develop players.
Saturday's match between Rakwa Czestochowa and Legia Warsaw starts at 8:00 pm.
