Marek Sebastian Leśniak (born February 29, 1964 in Goleniów ) is a former Polish football player who currently works as a football coach . He played for the Polish national football team and was the top scorer in the Polish Ekstraklasa in 1987 .

Stations as a player

As a teenager, Leśniak joined one of the local football clubs in the northwestern Polish city ​​of Nowogard . As an 18-year-old he received a contract with the league club Pogoń Stettin in 1982 . After a year he made his breakthrough to the first team there. In 1986 he was appointed to the national team for the first time . In 1987 he was Polish runner-up with his club and top scorer with 24 goals .

In 1988, during a trip to Denmark for the Polish Olympic team , he went on to the Federal Republic of Germany . A contract with Bayer 04 Leverkusen had already been negotiated through intermediaries . At the age of 24 he was actually too young to receive approval from the Polish Football Association PZPN for use abroad. The age limit was 28 years. But the Polish side reached an agreement with the Leverkusen team: In addition to the transfer fee of 2.0 million D-Marks , which was a record for a player from Poland at the time, the pharmaceutical company Bayer AG delivered drugs to the People's Republic of Poland , their total value exceeded the transfer fee.

Thanks to the support of his compatriot Andrzej Buncol , who had come to Leverkusen the year before, Leśniak quickly integrated into his new club and became one of the top performers. He also continued to play for the national team; he came to a total of 20 missions.

By 1992 he played 117 Bundesliga games for Leverkusen, in which he scored 19 goals. Then he moved to SG Wattenscheid 09 . In two years in the 1st Bundesliga, he came to 64 games and 18 goals, but was relegated with the team. He accompanied the Wattenscheider in the 2nd Bundesliga and came to 32 games and seven goals. However, the return to the first division did not succeed. In the 1995/96 season he therefore moved to TSV 1860 Munich and played 15 Bundesliga games with two goals in the first half of the season before moving to Bundesliga club KFC Uerdingen 05 for the second half of the season, for whom he then made 17 Bundesliga games and three Goals scored.

Then Leśniak moved to Neuchâtel Xamax and scored twelve goals in 41 games for the Swiss club. From 1997 to 1999 he played for Fortuna Düsseldorf in the 2nd Bundesliga and came to 52 games (16 goals) before moving to the then third-class Regionalliga Nord to Preußen Münster . Here he played another 65 games until 2002, scoring 20 goals.

Stations as a trainer

In July 2002 Leśniak signed a contract as a player-coach with SSVg Velbert , for which he scored more than 40 goals in around 80 league games. In June 2005 he left the club and then trained in Ratingen 04/19 . He stayed there until the end of the 2005/06 season and went to BSV Rehden in March 2007 . In March 2009 he left the club to return to SSVg Velbert in April of the same year. Initially with a contract until the end of the season, he extended it in the summer of 2009 for the following season. On March 29, 2010 Leśniak made his post as coach at the SSVg after 18 games, from which his team had only got two points available. Shortly thereafter, a new engagement as a coach of the SG Wattenscheid 09 followed. After relegation to the Westphalia League, he left the club again. On October 21, 2011 he became the new coach of TuSpo Richrath . For the 2013/14 season Leśniak was hired by FV Wiehl as a youth coach. From the 2015/16 season Leśniak has been the coach of the Westphalia league team SpVg Olpe .

Others

From August 2011 Leśniak worked at Hofacker Autoteile GmbH in his then home town of Leverkusen. He now lives in the Oberbergischer Kreis .
