POLAND boss Michal Probierz stunned fans last night by “disappearing” during his side’s clash with Turkey.
The Poles were in action in Warsaw in their final Euro 2024 warm-up friendly – with the game producing the “worst dive ever”.

A split second later, Probierz had vanished
Probierz, 51, selected a strong side including Barcelona superstar Robert Lewandowski.
Hellas Verona forward Karol Swiderski gave the home side the lead on 12 minutes.
And with things going well, Probierz pulled off his disappearing act.
On 24 minutes, TV cameras showed the Poland boss sitting in his chair.
As a player then obstructed the camera’s view, in just a split second Probierz appeared to vanish.
Fans online were left in disbelief at the optical illusion.
One wrote on social media: “I knew that Michal Probierz was amazing, but I didn’t know that he could disappear.”
Although a second pessimistically commented: “Oh, it’s like the squad after 3 matches.”

A third called it a “perfect moment”.
While another joked: “Just like Mbappe will disappear in Bednarek’s pocket.”
Poland went on to win the match 2-1, courtesy of a 90th minute winner by Nicola Zalewski.
But they came out of the friendly with fresh concerns, following an injury suffered by talisman Lewandowski.
The Barca striker, 35, limped off on the half hour with what appeared to be a muscular injury.
Poland are set to open their Euro 2024 campaign with a match against the Netherlands on Sunday afternoon.
Probierz sought to reassure fans on his skipper’s fitness after the game.
He said: “Robert has a slight injury but there should be no problem.”
