Hutnik Warsaw


Hutnik Warszawa, is a Polish professional football club based in the Bielany district of Warsaw, Poland. It was founded on April 21, 1957 as Hutniczy Klub Sportowy and renamed Bielański Klub Sportowy in 2001.

History

Hutnik has never played in the top division, and the highest position it has achieved in the Polish First League was 6th. The successes in the Polish Cup include reaching the quarterfinal in 1991, as well as winning the Cup on a regional level on June 4, 2008.
Despite not being the most successful of clubs in terms of trophy-winning, Hutnik has always been particularly active in developing young, mostly local, players; several former Hutnik players even went on to play for the Polish national team. Michał Żewłakow, previous captain of the national team, is a former Hutnik player.
Hutnik was traditionally sponsored by the nearby steel mill and the privatisation of that steelworks – and thus the ending of the sponsorship – marked the beginning of the club's steady decline. In the summer of 2012 Hutnik's disastrous financial condition finally resulted in dissolution of the club but the club was re-formed starting from the bottom of the league pyramid.

Former managers

Trivia: three of the former Hutnik managers went on to manage the Polish National team, and another one is currently managing the Polish U-21 team.
