WARSAW, Poland. Mar 9 (PS) — The 20th round of the Polish Ekstraklasa 2009/2010 season may prove to be extremely crucial for the coaches of both Legia Warsaw FC and Wisla Krakow - especially considering the future of their jobs.

Both Legia's Jan Urban and Wisla's Maciej Skorza face the threat of a possible sacking if results are not met this upcoming weekend.

The board of Legia Warsaw is slowly starting to run out of patience for coach Jan Urban. Urban has received now only received a warning: one more slip up and you can say goodbye to your job.

On Tuesday, a meeting was held with Legia owner Mariusz Walter, Chairman of the Supervisory Board Pawel Kosma, and chairman of the Legia board Leszek Miklas with Jan Urban. The topic of discussion was the poor form of Legia's first-team.

Last Sunday, the legionnaires disgraced themselves, losing at home with bottom table dweller Odra Wodzislaw (0:1). The Legion has lost some very needed opportunity to become the Ekstraklasa leader.

Wisla have found themselves with the same problem in Krakow, where they have also threatened coach Maciej Skorza of a sacking. It is believed that once Skorza is sacked he will be replaced by German coach, Winfried Schafer.

The White Star also performed very poorly last weekend, where they fell at home 0:1 against minnows Arka Gydnia.

Both clubs will not have an easy task, as they both will play their Ekstraklasa fixtures on the road. Legia will play Polonia Bytom this weekend, while Wisla has a match with Jagiellonia Bialystok this week.

Fire Skorza, bring back Petrescu. He was actually going to change Wisla around but the players claimed his training was too "tough". I mean he did get some obscure Romanian club in the Champions League group stages.
