Legia Warsaw boss hopes to kick-start their season with win at Leicester

Caretaker boss Marek Golebiewski has urged struggling Legia Warsaw to revive their nightmare season at Leicester.

The Polish champions, who find themselves second bottom of the Ekstraklasa, go to the King Power Stadium in the Europa League on Thursday with Group C wide open.

Legia are third, a point ahead of Leicester, after Spartak Moscow’s surprise 2-1 win over Napoli sent them top on Wednesday.

Just two points separate the four teams and Golebiewski, who replaced Czeslaw Michniewicz last month, wants the game to help breathe fresh life into their awful campaign.

“It is very important because this can decide the look of the table. If we are unsuccessful then the final one against Spartak will be the deciding game,” he said, with Legia having lost eight of their last nine games.

“It’s important we lift ourselves up from a mentally low place. We need to move forward and tomorrow’s victory would be very important. It would help us gain a better mental attitude.

“There’s no conflicts in the team. I have been in charge for a month and I’m still very enthusiastic for this. We are still looking to put the best squad together and looking to play the players in their best positions.

“We can see it is improving so if I still have a chance I would like to make sure I am working with this team. Leicester are a very good team and it is going to be quite difficult.”
