On the same day, information was also published regarding the extension of the contract with the handball coach Arne Senstad. The Norwegian is to lead the White and Reds at least until the European Championships, which will take place in 2026.

It is worth recalling that it was under Senstad's baton that the Polish women made progress in sports. The Norwegian coach took over the team in 2019 and since then the White and Reds have qualified for all important international events except the Olympic Games.

The best result of Polish handball players in recent years was achieved in November 2024, when they took a high ninth place at the European Championships.
