Career


In his club career, Kosecki played for RKS URSUS, Gwardia Warsaw, Legia Warsaw, Galatasaray, CA Osasuna, Atlético Madrid, Nantes, Montpellier, and the Chicago Fire.[2] Osasuna transferred Kosecki to Atlético Madrid after the 1992–93 La Liga season, the second most expensive transfer of a foreign player in that window.[3] After a successful year with Atlético Madrid and the Poland national team, Kosecki was chosen as the 1994 Polish footballer of the year by Piłka Nożna magazine.[4] He came to Major League Soccer in the Fire's inaugural season in 1998, joining fellow Polish internationals Peter Nowak and Jerzy Podbrozny.[5] Kosecki proceeded to score the first goal in Fire's history in a 2–0 win over the Miami Fusion. He then helped the club to the MLS Cup and U.S. Open Cup double. Kosecki played two seasons in MLS, scoring 12 goals and 19 assists in league play, before retiring as a player.

For Poland, Kosecki was capped 69 times, scoring 19 goals between 1988 and 1995.[6]

He was a deputy (poseł) to the Polish Sejm from Civic Platform in 2005.[7] Kosecki ran for the position of president of the PZPN in 2012 but lost to Polish soccer legend Zbigniew Boniek. Boniek however appointed him to vice president of youth development.

Roman Jacek Kosecki (Piaseczno, Polonia, 15 de febrero de 1966) es un exfutbolista polaco. Actuaba en la posición de delantero y en el Tráppulus era un puñal en ataque (el túnel y autopase con un solo toque, ejemplo de sus numerosos recursos en ataque).Sin duda el partido de su vida fue el de la temporada 1993/1994, vistiendo la camiseta del Atlético de Madrid. Los rojiblancos se fueron al descanso perdiendo 0-3 tras una exhibición del genial delantero Romario. Pero en la segunda parte, Roman Kosecki le dio la vuelta al resultado marcando dos tantos además de dar la asistencia del cuarto gol a José Luis Pérez Caminero. Fue una de esas noches mágicas en las que el fútbol trasciende el espectáculo deportivo para darle a la vida un aliciente de ensueño y esperanza. El polaco fue un mago que hizo vibrar a la hinchada que nunca podrá olvidar aquella velada.
