Club career

edit

Łobodziński started playing football with Zawisza Bydgoszcz.[1] In 1999, he joined Stomil Olsztyn where he made a debut in the Ekstraklasa. Subsequently, Łobodziński moved to Wisła Płock where he played until 2003. Then he played for Zagłębie Lubin and helped the team win Ekstraklasa championship in 2006–07 season. In 2008 Łobodziński moved to Wisła Kraków where he played until 2011, winning the Ekstraklasa title three times. In 2012, he joined another Ekstraklasa outfit, ŁKS Łódź.

International career

edit

He was part of the Poland U16 team that placed second at the 1999 UEFA Euro Under-16, as well as the under-18s that won the 2001 UEFA European Under-18 Championship in Finland.

On 6 December 2006, he made his debut for the senior side in a 5–2 victory over United Arab Emirates in a friendly match. Łobodziński was selected for the Euro 2008, appearing in all three group stage matches in an eventual group stage exit.

Managerial career

edit

On 11 January 2019, half-a-year after playing a major role in Miedź's first-ever promotion to Ekstraklasa,[2] Łobodziński left the first team to continue the twilight of his playing career with Miedź Legnica II, where he would also serve as an assistant coach.[3]

Miedź Legnica

edit

He took on his first managerial role on 6 April 2021, taking charge of Miedź's reserve side and leading the team to eight wins in 14 III liga matches, before being appointed manager of Miedź's senior squad on 16 June.[4]

With Łobodziński leading the team, they enjoyed a successful campaign, earning promotion back to top-tier and finishing the season 15 points ahead of second-placed Widzew Łódź.[5] Miedź's return to Ekstraklasa saw them struggling in the opening rounds, earning just five points in eleven matches, which resulted in Łobodziński's sacking on 11 October 2022.[6]

Wieczysta Kraków

edit

On 21 March 2023, he was appointed head coach of III liga club Wieczysta Kraków, signing a deal until the end of the season.[7] After finishing their group in third and failing to move up to II liga, Łobodziński's contract was not extended.[8]

Arka Gdynia

edit

Two days after his exit from Wieczysta was confirmed, Łobodziński was announced as the new manager of second-tier side Arka Gdynia on 16 June 2024. He signed a one-year contract, which would be extended automatically in case of Arka's promotion to Ekstraklasa.[9] After a slow start to the 2023–24 campaign, the Pomeranian outfit improved across the season, trading the top spot in the table with local rivals Lechia Gdańsk throughout most of it. On 10 April 2024, Łobodziński penned a new deal, tying him with the club until the end of June 2026.[10] Ultimately, Arka failed to earn promotion to the Ekstraklasa, dropping out of the automatic promotion positions following defeats in the last two rounds of the regular season before losing the play-off final against Miedź Legnica 1–2, despite leading until the 87th minute.[11]

After a poor start to the following campaign, Arka and Łobodziński agreed to part ways on 26 August 2024.[12]
