WARSAW, July 16 (Xinhua) -- Jan Urban became the new coach of the Poland men's football team, the Polish Football Association (PZPN) announced on Wednesday.

The 63-year-old replaced Michal Probierz, who resigned after the 2-1 defeat to Finland in Helsinki in the FIFA World Cup qualifier.

"I'm very happy that I have a chance to work in the national team. Every coach has his own style and ideas. The most important thing is to use the maximum potential of the team," Urban was quoted as saying by the official site of the PZPN.

"Our goal is to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. I wish the coach every success and assure him he can count on our full support," said the PZPN president Cezary Kulesza. ■
