Senior career

edit

Magiera started his senior career at Raków Częstochowa in 1991. He played there for six seasons before he moved to Legia Warsaw in 1997.

At Legia, he made over 170 appearances throughout nine seasons. Magiera was loaned out to Widzew Łódź in 2000, and to his former club Raków Częstochowa in 2006 before signing for Cracovia which was his last club as a player.

International career

edit

In 1993, Magiera played for Poland under-16 and under-17 national teams. He won the 1993 UEFA European Under-16 Championship in Turkey with Poland U16.[1]

Managerial career

edit

Early years

edit

On 20 December 2006, Magiera joined Legia's staff as an assistant coach,[2] whilst simultaneously holding the same role with the Poland U18s. On 7 January 2014, Magiera took charge of Legia's reserve team and left his post on 7 June 2015.

Zagłębie Sosnowiec

edit

On 16 May 2016, Magiera became the head coach of I liga club Zagłębie Sosnowiec. He led the team in eleven games before leaving by mutual consent on 22 September that year.[3]

Legia Warsaw

edit

Two days after departing Zagłębie, Magiera was announced by Legia as their new manager, signing a two-year contract with an extension option.[4] With Magiera in charge, Legia finished third in the 2016–17 UEFA Champions League group stage and secured a spot in the Round of 32 of the Europa League.

On 4 June 2017, Magiera won his first silverware as manager, after Legia secured the 2016–17 league title.[5] On 13 September, Magiera was dismissed after crashing out of the 2017–18 UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League qualifying rounds.[6]

Poland youth teams

edit

Magiera became the head coach of Poland U20 on 19 March 2018, and managed the team at the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup on home soil.[7] On 20 June 2020, he took charge of the under-19 team until 11 March 2021.[8]

Śląsk Wrocław

edit

On 22 March 2021, Magiera took charge of Ekstraklasa side Śląsk Wrocław,[9] a role he held until he was sacked on 8 March 2022.[10] Since his contract with the club was still in effect, Śląsk re-appointed him as manager 13 months later, to replace the outgoing Ivan Đurđević on 21 April 2023.[11] After avoiding relegation at the end of the season, his contract was extended for another two years.[12]

Śląsk enjoyed a much more successful start to the 2023–24 campaign, occupying the top spot in the table from mid-September until the winter break and setting a new club record of seven straight Ekstraklasa wins.[13] On 1 March 2024, Magiera penned a new deal, tying him with the club until mid-2026.[14] Śląsk finished the season level on points with eventual champions Jagiellonia Białystok, losing the title on head-to-head goal difference.[15]

After kicking off the following season with dropping out of the UEFA Conference League third qualifying round, Śląsk spent the majority of the league campaign in the relegation zone. On 12 November 2024, with the team placed 18th and last, with one win after 14 league games played, Magiera was relieved of his duties,[16] and terminated his contract with the club days later.[17]
