Unfortunately, Młynarski was not able to avoid his team's poor performance. In the 2008–09 season, Górnik finished in last place in the Polish PLK League. The main reason why the team was relegated, was its deep financial problems (Górnik finished the season without any foreign players, and some key Polish players, e.g. Marcin Stefański).
