Waldemar Piątek (born 2 November 1979) is a Polish former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

Club career

He started his career in Wisłoka Dębica where he played until the spring season of 2001. Then, he moved to KSZO Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski, and in the spring of 2003 he was bought by Lech Poznań.[1] In the 2003–04 season, while representing Lech, he won the Polish Cup and Polish Super Cup.

Piątek was highly regarded as a goalkeeper, before having his career cut short after being diagnosed with hepatitis C in mid-2005.

International career

In July 2004 Piątek was called up to the Poland national football team for a friendly game in Chicago against the United States. However, he spent the entirety of the 1–1 draw on the bench.

Coaching career

Piątek moved into coaching in 2008, when he took on the role of Sandecja Nowy Sącz's goalkeeping coach. On two occasions, in 2019 and 2021, he was appointed caretaker manager of Bruk-Bet Termalica Nieciecza, following the dismissals of Piotr Mandrysz and Mariusz Lewandowski.[2][3]
