Marek Jóźwiak (born 21 August 1967) is a Polish football pundit, executive and former professional player.
His first club was LZS Siemiątkowo,[1] in the following years he was a player of the Błękitni Raciąż, Mławianka Mława and Śniardwy Orzysz.
In 1988, he joined Legia Warsaw, where he made 348 appearances in all competitions and scored six goals.[2] He won the Ekstraklasa title three times (1994, 1995, 2002), the Polish Cup four times (1989, 1990, 1994, 1995), the Polish Super Cup twice (1990, 1995) and the Polish League Cup once (2002). In the 1995–96 season, he participated in the UEFA Champions League.[3] He scored the last goal for Legia in spring 2005 at the age of 37 and 60 days, which gives him the second place in the club's classification of the oldest scorers, behind Lucjan Brychczy.
He also played for the French EA Guingamp, where he won the Intertoto Cup in 1996,[4] and the Chinese side Shenyang Jinde.
Jóźwiak made his debut for the Poland national team on 5 July 1992 in a friendly against Guatemala.[5] He played for Poland on 14 occasions.
After retiring from football in 2005, Jóźwiak remained in Legia's structures, where he held numerous scouting and directorial roles before leaving the club by mutual consent on 4 January 2013.[6]
On 27 April 2015, another Ekstraklasa club Lechia Gdańsk announced the appointment of Jóźwiak as their new team manager and chief of scouting.[7] In January 2016, his responsibilities were limited to only being responsible for the scouting department,[8] before leaving the club in August 2017.[9]
In early April 2019, Jóźwiak became a board advisor at Wigry Suwałki,[10] before joining Wisła Płock as their new sporting director on 20 May that year.[11] On 30 November 2020, he was sacked by Wisła's management board.[12]
Two days later, on 2 December 2020, Jóźwiak joined Canal+ Poland's coverage team for Ekstraklasa and Ligue 1 games.[13]
