Jerzy "Gumiś" Podbrożny (born 17 December 1966 in Przemyśl) is a Polish former professional footballer who played as a striker. He currently serves as the player-manager of Orzeł Kampinos.[1]

Biography

Podbrożny led the Polish league in scoring: in 1992 with 20 goals and in 1993 with 25 goals, both times for Lech Poznań. After winning the championship both those years, he transferred to Legia Warsaw, and promptly won the next two titles. In 1996, Podbrożny moved to Spain, first with CP Mérida and then with CD Toledo. He then signed with the Chicago Fire, coming to Major League Soccer in the club's inaugural season in 1998, joining fellow Polish internationals Peter Nowak and Roman Kosecki.[2] Podbrożny went on to help the club to the MLS Cup and U.S. Open Cup double.[3] He played two seasons in MLS, scoring 10 goals and 22 assists in league play. Fans loved him in Chicago for his candour.

Podbrożny was capped six times for the Poland national team.[4]

In 2012, he became manager of amateur club Orzeł Kampinos, a post he has held continuously since.[1]
