Sept 13 (Reuters) - Poland have parted ways with Portuguese coach Fernando Santos following their 2-0 defeat in Albania which left them struggling to qualify for Euro 2024, the Polish Football Association (PZPN) said on Wednesday. Poland are fourth in qualifying Group E with six points from five games. Poland lost 3-1 to Czech Republic in Santos's first game in charge, their opening Euro 2024 qualifier, before beating Albania 1-0. They struggled to beat Faroe Islands 2-0, a penalty from Robert Lewandowski in the 73rd minute breaking the deadlock against a side ranked 129th in the world. Poland travel to the Faroe Islands in October followed by a home game against Moldova.

May 5 (Reuters) - Serbia's Legia Warsaw defender Filip Mladenovic has been suspended for three months, the Polish football association (PZPN) said on Friday, after he hit three opposing players following their Polish Cup final victory. Legia lifted their 20th Polish Cup trophy on Tuesday with a 6-5 penalty shootout win over league leaders Rakow Czestochowa, after the game had finished goalless. Players rushed onto the pitch after the final penalty kick was saved by Legia keeper Kacper Tobiasz. Mladenovic was approached by several Rakow players and the Serbia international responded by punching three of them, videos posted on social media showed. I also apologise to the players of my team, my staff and the fans for representing the colours of Legia Warsaw in an unworthy manner."
