Vital Heynen led the Polish national volleyball team in 2018–21. Saying goodbye to the old year is usually a good time to review. On January 12, 2019, we will meet the new Polish coach of volleyball players. Before we find out who will be the coach of the Poles, let’s recall the best trainer of the white-training-transporters under the called Belgian trainer.

Vital Heynen is Poland’s coach for four seasons. In 2020, due to the pandemic, the volleyball players’ performances were the referents for two friendly meetings with Germany and the testimonials of sparring. It lasts for three years for events only. Polish volleyball players won in turn: 2018 world championship gold, 2019 Nations League bronze, 2019 European Champions League bronze, 2021 Champions League silver and 2021 World Championship league silver.

The eccentric coach from Belgium won the hearts of Polish fans not only with volleyball achievements, but also with eccentric behavior and unconventional methods of work. Heynen led Poland in 123 games. He was among them painful defeats today, but today let us present these victories.

Here are the Top 10 matches of Polish volleyball matches by Vital:

10. [2021] Serbia 3: 0 (25:22, 25:16, 25:22)

(Katowice, September 19, 2021; European Championship – match for 3rd place) Let’s start with … the end. Already before this match it is known that in Heynen’s farewell match as the coach of the Polish match. The white-and-reds managed to pick themselves up from the carriers on the other side of the dramatic previous defeat of 1: 3 with Slovenia, which was preceded by the semi-final. They played with more determination than the Serbs, who lost their previous changes to defend the championship.

The Poles probably won the first two sets, in which their rivals were still in the game in the end (22:22), but the next three positions were won by the hosts. Heynen’s last points were scored by Michał Kubiak.
