Legia boss Magiera set for whirlwind debut

Jacek Magiera was only appointed as Legia Warsaw boss this weekend and now faces Sporting CP away in the Champions League.

New Legia Warsaw head coach Jacek Magiera fears he might have spent more time with the media than his players ahead of his Champions League bow against Sporting CP.

Legia sacked Besnik Hasi when he followed up a 6-0 drubbing in the Group F opener against Borussia Dortmund with a 3-2 loss at home to Zaglebie Lubin.

Magiera, a former Legia midfielder and reserve-team coach, was in charge of second-tier club Zaglebie Sosnowiec until signing a two-year contract this weekend.
