He twice had spells at the senior helm, winning the 2001 Polish League Cup. • After several adventures in the dugouts of clubs in Poland's top two divisions, culminating in a 2006–07 return to Wisła, Nawałka had a short stint as assistant to national coach Leo Beenhakker, aiding their UEFA EURO 2008 qualification. • Soon back in club coaching with Katowice, at the start of 2010 Nawałka switched to Górnik and within six months had guided them to promotion. • With Górnik top of the Polish First Division in October 2013, Nawałka agreed to take the Poland job, beginning the following month. Qualifying for UEFA EURO 2016 started in style with a first win against Germany in 19 meetings and, though Poland finished second behind their opponents, it was still enough for a finals place. They went on to reach the quarter-finals in France, losing to eventual champions Portugal on penalties.

Briefly Dinamo's sporting director, he returned to head-coaching by leading Torpedo Moskva to promotion in 2014. • Having lifted the Kazakh Super Cup with Kairaty in 2016, he replaced Talgat Baysufinov as Kazakhstan coach in February 2017 when his predecessor became the national association's technical director. 5 Poland - Kazakhstan Monday 4 September 2017 - 20.45CET (20.45 local time) Match press kit Stadion Narodowy, Warsaw Match officials Referee Andris Treimanis (LVA) Assistant referees Haralds Gudermanis (LVA) , Aleksejs Spasjonnikovs (LVA) Fourth official Aleksandrs Golubevs (LVA) FIFA Match Commissioner Stefano Pucci (ITA) Referee observer William Young (SCO) Referee Name Date of birth UEFA matches Andris Treimanis 16/03/1985 1 41 FIFA Wold Cup matches involving teams from the two countries involved in this match No such matches refereed Other matches involving teams from either of the two countries involved in this match No such matches refereed 6 Poland - Kazakhstan Monday 4 September 2017 - 20.45CET (20.45 local time) Match press kit Stadion Narodowy, Warsaw Competition facts The Week of Football concept enables fans around the world to enjoy the very best action from the European Qualifiers – which will determine UEFA's representatives at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. Qualifying for the 2018 FIFA World Cup comprises nine groups of six teams, with matches played on a home-and- away basis. Qualifying takes place under the 'Week of Football' concept, introduced ahead of the UEFA EURO 2016 qualifying campaign, in which games are spread out from Thursday to Tuesday, shining the spotlight on more teams on the road to the finals in Russia. Moreover, thanks to the Week of Football, at least 43% of matches will be played on weekends, giving fans a better chance to follow the action on television, in the stadiums and on UEFA.com. Kick-off times will be set mainly at 18:00CET and 20:45CET on Saturdays and Sundays and at 20:45CET for Thursdays, Fridays, Mondays and Tuesdays. In double-header matchweeks, sides will play on Thursday/Sunday, Friday/Monday or Saturday/Tuesday. Each day of the Week of Football will feature eight to ten games. The nine group winners will qualify directly for the final tournament. The eight best runners-up will contest play-offs to decide the last four qualifiers for the finals. The 13 qualifiers then join hosts Russia in the finals to make it 14 UEFA member associations represented.
