Seweryn Daniel Gancarczyk (Polish pronunciation: [sɛˈvɛrɨn ˈdaɲɛl ɡanˈt͡sart͡ʂɨk]; born 22 November 1981) is a Polish former professional footballer who played as a left-back. He was most recently the assistant coach of Zagłębie Sosnowiec.[1]
Career
[edit]Gancarczyk started to play football in his early teens, in junior teams of Podkarpacie Pustynia. After several seasons there and after a short spell at second division club Hetman Zamość, Gancarczyk made his way to the capital of Ukraine, Kyiv, where he joined local Arsenal Kyiv. Having also briefly performed for west Ukrainian club Volyn Lutsk, Gancarczyk was transferred to Metalist Kharkiv, where he has remained since, and has reached a position of vice-captain at the club.[2]
In 2007, he was voted the best left-back in Ukraine.[3]
During the winter of 2008, Gancarczyk had a try-out with Scottish club Celtic, however due to an injury, he was unable to compete and so returned to Metalist.
In January 2018, Gancarczyk joined Rozwój Katowice.[4] He played for the club until the summer 2019, when he joined Podlesianka Katowice.[5]
International career
[edit]Debuting for his country in 2006 in a 0–1 loss against Lithuania, the defender was named to the 23-men squad for the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany.
On 14 October 2009, during Poland's last game of the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Slovakia, Gancarczyk scored an own goal in the 3rd minute of the game, condemning Poland to a 1–0 defeat and enabling Slovakia to qualify for the World Cup.
Coaching career
[edit]While still playing for Podlesianka, Gancarczyk began coaching youth teams of Rozwój Katowice. On 7 June 2022, he joined I liga club Górnik Łęczna's staff as an assistant under Marcin Prasoł.[6] He left the club on 25 February 2023 along with Prasoł.[7]
On 17 January 2024, Gancarczyk took on a similar role at another second division side Zagłębie Sosnowiec, where he worked under managers Alyaksandr Khatskevich and Marek Saganowski. He terminated his contract by mutual consent on 12 June that year.[8]
