Poland appoint Adam Nawalka

Adam Nawalka has been named as the new manager of Poland's national team.

The 56-year-old former midfielder replaces Waldemar Fornalik, who was sacked earlier this month following his side's failure to qualify for next year's World Cup finals in Brazil.

The Polish Football Federation confirmed Nawalka's appointment in a statement on their official website, adding: "The objective for the new coach is clear: to qualify for the Euro 2016 finals in France."

Nawalka earned 35 caps for Poland during a 13-year playing career.
