Anwil Włocławek reacted quickly after the season, which ended in great disappointment. After the dismissal of Łukasz Pszczółkowski, the club did not long look for a successor. The new president is Hubert Hejman, a figure associated with Włocławek basketball for years and perfectly familiar with the realities of the organization.

Hubert Hejman took over the reins at Anwil Włocławek

Anwil Włocławek officially confirmed the change in the position of president. The Supervisory Board decided that Hubert Hejman, the current director of the club, will take over the position. This is the choice of a person who will not need time to get to know the structures, people or expectations of the environment.

Hejman has been working in Anwil since 2006. First he was the team manager, then he served as the club’s director for many years. He has completed various levels of work in the organization and knows well the mechanisms of functioning of Włocławek basketball. This experience is expected to be one of the greatest advantages in the rebuilding process after a failed season.

Change after a season without playoffs

The decision to change the president is a consequence of sports results. Anwil not only did not win a medal, but also did not even advance to the play-off phase of the Orlen Basket League. For a club with such tradition and ambitions, this was a difficult result to accept.

Łukasz Pszczółkowski has managed the club since June 2022, when he replaced Arkadiusz Lewandowski. During his term, the organization was strengthened and a solid financial base was built, but the results at home did not keep up with expectations. Ultimately, sports disappointments brought an end to his work as president.

Domestic failures weighed more and more heavily

The last seasons were extremely painful for Anwil fans. The players from Włocławek were in a strong position before the decisive part of the competition, but then they failed when the stakes were the highest. First came a defeat in the quarterfinals after winning the regular round. Later, the team lost the fight for the bronze medal.

The current competition brought another blow, because Anwil was absent from the Pekao SA Polish Cup tournament and from the play-off phase. This made the pressure for change very high. The club decided that it needed a new opening and a person who would rebuild trust in the project.

The new president is given a difficult task

Hejman takes up the position at a time when the mood around Anwil is far from calm. Fans expect not declarations, but specific decisions. The club must rebuild its squad, improve its results and become a team regularly fighting for medals again.

The biggest challenge will be to restore faith that Anwil can win the most important matches. In Włocławek, just being among the leaders is not enough. This club should fight for the highest goals in the Orlen Basket League every season.

Anwil needs to rebuild trust

The choice of Hejman means focusing on continuity, not a personnel revolution from the outside. The new president knows the club from the inside, understands its history and knows how important it is for the city. This can help you quickly move from organizational decisions to sporting activities.

Important weeks lie ahead for Anwil. We need to draw conclusions from failures, build a team capable of fighting for a medal and convince fans that the club is back on track. Hejman sits in the hot seat, but that is why his first decisions will be assessed so carefully.
