Piotr Czachowski (born 7 November 1966) is a Polish football pundit, co-commentator and former player. In 1991, he won the Polish Footballer of the Year Award conferred by the Piłka Nożna football weekly.
Playing career
He played for several clubs in his native Poland, as well as Udinese in Italy and Dundee in Scotland. He was the third Polish player to sign with a Serie A club, after Zbigniew Boniek and Władysław Żmuda. With Legia Warsaw, he played in the semifinals of 1991 Cup Winners' Cup, losing to Manchester United. He was capped by Poland 45 times in the late 1980s and early 1990s. He held a record for most consecutive games from the debut in the national team. During his stint in Dundee, he sustained an injury which eliminated him from the entire 1994–95 season; after the injury he never played again in the national team. In 1991, he was voted Polish Footballer of the Year.
Post-retirement
After retirement, he became a youth coach and PE teacher.
Style of play
Czachowski was a reliable defender who was valued for his marking. He was also an excellent tackler.
