"In the current situation, the best decision for the national team's best is that I resign from the coaching position," says Probierz according to the Polish Football Association.
It was on Sunday that Robert Lewandowski announced on social media that he will not play for the Polish national team as long as Michal Probierz is in charge.
Barcelona striker lost recently the captain's armband he had since 2014 to advantage for midfielder Piotr Zielinski.
"Considering the circumstances and the lack of trust in the Polish national team's head coach, I have decided to stop playing for the national team as long as he is responsible," Lewandowski wrote.
Poland played on Tuesday against Finland in the World Championship qualifying round without Lewandowski and lost 1–2.
