Ryszard Wieczorek (born 25 January 1962) is a Polish professional football manager and former player who played as a midfielder. He was most recently in charge of Arka Gdynia.
Wieczorek played for Naprzód Syrynia, Górnik Pszów, Odra Wodzisław and Preussen TV Werl.[1]
He graduated from the Warsaw Coaching School, and has previously managed Limanovia Limanowa and Wisła Puławy. He also coached Korona Kielce from 2004 until he was succeeded by Arkadiusz Kaliszan.[2]
Wieczorek was appointed coach of Odra Wodzisław in June 2018,[3] before moving onto KKS 1925 Kalisz a year later, winning promotion with them in 2020.[4] He was dismissed on 19 October 2021.[5]
On 10 May 2022, he returned to Odra for his fourth stint. He left the team at the end of the season after saving it from relegation, with a record of four wins and two losses.[6]
Shortly after, on 1 July 2022, he was appointed manager of another III liga side, Polonia Bytom.[7] He left the team on 9 January 2023 citing health issues, with a record of 12 wins, one draw and four losses.[8]
On 7 March 2023, Wieczorek replaced Marek Hanzel, who himself was facing health issues, as head coach of IV liga club Unia Turza Śląska.[9] He led the team in just four league games however, as on 11 April 2023 he signed a deal with I liga club Arka Gdynia to become their manager until the end of the season.[10] On 16 June, it was announced Wieczorek's contract would not be extended.[11]
