Rumors Swirl Around Henning Berg’s Potential Return to Legia Warszawa
Speculation is mounting in Warsaw as former Legia Warszawa manager Henning Berg emerges as a leading candidate to replace Gonçalo Feio, whose contract was not renewed following a turbulent season finale.
Coaching Carousel at Łazienkowska
Legia Warszawa officially parted ways with Feio after a 2–2 draw against Stal Mielec, a result that sealed the club’s decision to seek new leadership Sport w WP SportoweFakty. The search for a successor has reignited interest in Berg, who previously managed Legia from 2014 to 2015, leading them to a Polish Cup victory and a strong domestic campaign.
Berg, 55, recently concluded his tenure at AEK Larnaca in Cyprus, where he opted not to extend his contract beyond the 2024–25 season. His availability has made him a natural contender for the vacancy at Legia, especially given his familiarity with the club and Polish football.
Why Berg Fits the Bill
- Proven track record in Ekstraklasa: Berg’s earlier stint at Legia was marked by tactical discipline and competitive results.
- Recent free agent status: His departure from AEK Larnaca leaves him open to negotiations.
- Club connections: Berg remains a respected figure among Legia supporters and executives.
Despite these factors, reports from Kanal Sportowy suggest Berg has already accepted a role at Omonia Nicosia, returning to the Cypriot club he previously managed from 2019 to 2022 Kanał Sportowy. This development could complicate any potential reunion with Legia.
Mixed Signals and Media Buzz
While some outlets hint at advanced talks between Berg and Legia, others confirm his commitment to Omonia. The timing of these announcements—coinciding with Legia’s coaching transition—has fueled confusion and debate among fans and pundits.
Legia’s management has yet to issue a formal shortlist of candidates, but insiders suggest the club is weighing multiple options, including domestic and international profiles. Berg’s name remains prominent, even if his immediate availability is now in question.
