Career

Before taking on his first managerial role, Kroczek worked as a coach for UKS SMS Łódź and the Łódzkie Football Association team, and attended internships at Benfica, Karpaty Lviv, Southampton, Zagłębie Lubin, Cracovia, Lechia Gdańsk, Sandecja Nowy Sącz and Valencia. [1]

In mid-2019, he was appointed manager of III liga club Sokół Aleksandrów Łódzki, and led the team to 17 wins and 12 draws in 36 matches, before leaving in December 2020 to join Resovia's staff as an assistant coach under Radosław Mroczkowski. [2]

On 29 September 2021, after Mroczkowski's dismissal, Kroczek took on the role of manager, [3] which he held until the end of the season, which Resovia finished in 11th. [4]

On 27 June 2022, he returned to III liga to manage Unia Skierniewice; [5] with Kroczek in charge, Unia finished the season 7th in their group, with a record of 15 wins, 8 draws and 11 losses. He left the club by mutual consent one year and a day after his appointment. [6]

In February 2024, he joined Cracovia as a head of methodology department for youth teams, and was due to take charge of Cracovia's reserve side from the start of the 2024–25 season. [7] However, after Jacek Zieliński's sacking following a 2–2 league draw against ŁKS Łódź on 5 April 2024, Kroczek was promoted to the role of interim manager until the end of the campaign. [8] His first game in charge on 14 April ended in an upset 3–1 away win over league leaders Jagiellonia Białystok. [9] On 23 May 2024, the club announced that Kroczek had signed a contract to become a full-time manager of Cracovia until 30 June 2025, with an option for a further year. [10]
