The Polish football community is filled with emotion as Michał Żewłakow, one of Legia Warszawa’s most respected figures, has sent a heartfelt message to the club and its supporters following his recent decision to part ways with the team.
Żewłakow — a former captain, club legend, and symbol of leadership both on and off the pitch — confirmed that his time with Legia has officially come to an end. His emotional statement, shared through club channels and his personal social media, moved fans and fellow professionals alike.
“I will forever cherish those love-full moments I spent with Legia Warszawa,” Żewłakow said. “This club shaped me, challenged me, and gave me memories that will stay with me for a lifetime. Every cheer from the stands, every hard-fought win, every setback — it all made me who I am. Legia will always be a part of my heart.”
Over the years, Żewłakow has been more than just a player — he’s been a leader, mentor, and ambassador for Legia’s values. After a distinguished playing career across Europe, including spells in Belgium and Greece, he returned to his homeland to give back to the club that launched his journey.
Whether on the pitch as a defender or later serving in various leadership roles, Żewłakow’s dedication to Legia Warszawa has never wavered. His professionalism and respect for the badge have made him one of the most admired figures in Polish football.
Club president Dariusz Mioduski paid tribute to the departing legend, saying:
“Michał is part of Legia’s DNA. His contributions to this club go beyond results — they touch the culture, the spirit, and the generations that followed him. We thank him deeply for everything he’s given to Legia Warszawa.”
