Fredi Bobić, sporting director of Legia Warsaw, says the club has undergone a major internal shift, comparing the change to a snowball effect, according to Sport.pl. He stated that the club had concentrated too heavily on commercial matters and not enough on the sport itself, as reported by Legia.Net.
Bobić’s comments come as part of a broader interview with Polish media, in which he discussed the direction of the Ekstraklasa club. He also noted that a friend had called him to point out that the New York Times had written about the Polish top flight, according to SportoweFakty. The remarks signal a clear attempt to refocus Legia’s priorities on pitch performance.
The sporting director also addressed the club’s finances, telling Przegląd Sportowy that the era of generous spending for players is over. In a separate report from Meczyki.pl, Bobić was quoted as saying that the three million spent on a player like Rajović is nothing compared to the scale of the changes needed. The comments suggest that while the club is willing to invest, it will do so more selectively.
Bobić’s statements paint a picture of a club in transition, moving away from a period of heavy commercial focus and high spending. The snowball metaphor he used implies that the shift in approach is building momentum and affecting multiple areas of the club’s operations.
The key question now is whether this new direction will translate into better results on the pitch for Legia Warsaw in the coming season.
