Former UEFA Champions League (UCL) head coach and current Polish national team head coach Jacek Magira has died. He was 49.
Britain's "The Sun" reported on the 10th (local time) that "Coach Magira died after collapsing while jogging in the morning." According to the media, he was rushed to the military clinical hospital in Wroclaw immediately after he collapsed, but he died.
The Polish Football Association issued an official statement earlier in the day, saying, "We express our deep sadness and regret, and we urge you to respect the privacy and tranquility of the bereaved family." Polish Football Association President Cesar Kulesha also expressed his condolences in a personal statement, saying, "He was an outstanding player, a great coach, and a good person to always rely on," and appealed to the media and critics to protect the privacy of the bereaved family.

Magiera has served as the head coach of the Polish national team since July last year. In the past, he coached the national teams of zakwengvié sosnovietz, silonsk wroclaw and Poland by age. In the 2016–17 season, he led Legia Warsaw to a 3-3 draw with Real Madrid and a 1-0 victory over Sporting Lisbon, but failed to advance to the tournament after losing three of their five group matches. As a centre-back, he played for Rakouf Cengstohova, Legia Warsaw and Krakovia.
Former team Legia Warsaw said in a club statement, "We express our condolences to the deceased who shared the club's history with his dedication and passion for 20 years and will remember his dedication forever." Matty Cash, a Polish national team member of Aston Villa, also said on social media, "A wonderful person who always smiled, I will miss you terribly. Rest in peace Legend," he said.
