Rafał Sebastian Grzyb (born 16 January 1983) is a Polish professional football manager and former player who is currently the assistant manager of Ekstraklasa club Radomiak Radom. He also served as the councilor of the city of Białystok from the Civic Coalition committee from 2018 to 2024.
Club career
[edit]Grzyb is a home-grown of Wierna Małogoszcz. In January 2011, he moved from Polonia Bytom to Jagiellonia Białystok on two-and-a-half-year contract.[2] In the latter team, he finished his career after the 2018–19 Ekstraklasa autumn round.
Coaching career
[edit]On 8 December 2019, Grzyb, who was the assistant manager of Jagiellonia Białystok at the time, was appointed as the club's interim manager after Ireneusz Mamrot's dismissal.[3]
On 17 March 2021, he was again appointed on a temporary basis after Bogdan Zając's departure from Jagiellonia.[4] Despite his initial temporary presence, he held the position for several months. On 4 June, he was replaced by the returning Mamrot.[5] He left Jagiellonia's staff on 18 October 2025.[6]
On 8 July 2026, Grzyb joined Ekstraklasa club Radomiak Radom as their new assistant manager, under recently appointed Tomasz Kaczmarek.[7]
Politics
[edit]In the 2018 Polish local elections, he ran for the councilor of the city of Białystok from the Civic Coalition committee. He received 755 votes and, according to the calculations of the National Electoral Commission, it was not enough to get a seat. However, thanks to resignation from the mandate of councilor Tadeusz Truskolaski, Grzyb took his place in the newly appointed city council.[8] He sought reelection in 2024, but was unsuccessful.[9]
