Craig Kuligowski Head Coach of Panthers Wrocław for the 2025 Season

The Panthers Wrocław football team has finished the 2024 season and is starting to build the team for next year's competitions. Craig Kuligowski will remain in the position of head coach of the Panthers. The American of Polish descent will build a new coaching staff around him.
Kuligowski joined Panthers Wrocław before the 2024 season as the defensive coordinator. Midway through the season, he replaced Dave Christensen as head coach. The Panthers have decided that the American will remain at the helm of the team for the 2025 season as well.

– Coach Kuligowski made a strong impression on our entire organization. He possesses immense knowledge, demonstrates an excellent work ethic, and brings with him several decades of football experience. Together with our owner, we concluded that extending our cooperation is the best possible decision. We want to build a strong and stable organization together and strive for success – says Michał Latoś, president of Panthers Wrocław.

– I am excited to be asked, and humbled to accept, the honor of being the Head Football Coach at the Panthers Wrocław in the 2025 season and beyond. The Panthers Wrocław coaching staff will be a united team full of individuals who will lead with optimism, and inspire with vision and purpose. The ownership and management of this team have a great plan for continuing success. We will have the most talented and tough group of Polish players who will be the core of our triumphs. We will bring in a highly talented and motivated group of Imports to help lead us to the top. We are building an exciting team that all of Poland will be proud to watch. We appreciate the love and support we have felt here in Poland. We give thanks to the Lord, for He is good and His steadfast love endures forever – Craig Kuligowski commented.

The familiar-sounding name should come as no surprise – the coach's family hails from the Greater Poland region. Craig Kuligowski is a coach with over 30 years of experience, having worked at prestigious universities in the top NCAA division – Toledo, Alabama, Miami, and Missouri, where he trained many future NFL players. Over his career, he has won a total of 13 championship rings in the SEC, ACC, Big 12, and MAC, and was even named the best defensive line coach in U.S. college football.
