Lukasz Fabianski spoke about the role he has taken on at the end of his playing career. “Right now, I’m the third-choice keeper at the club, sharing my experience and trying to support the team. I’d also like to keep coaching at the academy. I enjoy it because I feel a certain responsibility. When you see players suddenly do what you’ve told them - like coming out at the right moment to catch the ball or reacting differently to a situation - that’s the biggest reward,” he told Petr Cech.
He also looks back on the period when he was without a club. “That summer was mentally tough. I missed the routine, the dressing room, the feeling of being part of something. The longer it went on, the more I felt I was lacking direction. But I also had opportunities to work as a TV pundit, and I actually enjoyed it. It’s a completely different perspective on football, where you have to express constructive opinions.”
