Maciej Kędziorek (born 1 July 1980) is a Polish professional football manager who is currently in charge of Ekstraklasa club Radomiak Radom.

Career[edit]

Lower divisions[edit]

Kędziorek started his coaching career managing youth sides of Mazur Karczew. He took on his first senior managerial role in 2009, taking charge of regional league club Wilga Garwolin, where he stayed until 2011.[1]

He then had stints with lower division clubs such as Radość Warsaw, Start Otwock and Victoria Sulejówek.

Assistant roles[edit]

On 18 April 2016, Kędziorek joined Marek Papszun's staff at Raków Częstochowa as an assistant.[2] While at the club, Kędziorek oversaw Raków's ascent from II liga to Ekstraklasa, before leaving on 29 December 2019.[3]

Highly regarded for his match analysis and set-pieces, Kędziorek was invited by Poland under-21 team manager Czesław Michniewicz to join his staff for the 2019 UEFA Euro U21.[4]

On 11 May 2020, he moved to I liga club Arka Gdynia to operate as an assistant coach.[4] On 18 June 2021, after working with head coaches Ireneusz Mamrot and Dariusz Marzec, he left the Pomeranian side by mutual consent.[5]

He spent the following two-and-a-half years as an assistant for Ekstraklasa side Lech Poznań whom he joined on 21 June 2021;[6] in his first year with the club, Lech won the 2021–22 Ekstraklasa title under manager Maciej Skorża, and followed it up during the 2022–23 season with a successful European campaign, reaching the UEFA Europa Conference League quarterfinals with John van den Brom in charge.[7]

Radomiak Radom[edit]

On 1 December 2023, he left Lech to take charge of Ekstraklasa club Radomiak Radom.[8] The following day, Radomiak won their first game under Kędziorek, securing a decisive 0–3 away win over Widzew Łódź.[9] In their last game of 2023, Kędziorek led Radomiak to a 2–2 comeback draw against Lech on 16 December, resulting in his former supervisor van den Brom's sacking the next day.[10]
