Ryszard Jerzy Tarasiewicz (born 27 April 1962) is a Polish professional football manager and former player who is currently in charge of I liga club Warta Poznań. In 1989, he won the Polish Footballer of the Year plebiscite organized by the Piłka Nożna football weekly.

Career

Club

After playing 10 years for Śląsk Wrocław, he left Poland in 1989 and played for Swiss club Neuchâtel Xamax and French sides AS Nancy, RC Lens and Besançon RC.

National team

He played for the Poland national team and was a participant of the 1986 FIFA World Cup.

Managerial career

Tarasiewicz in 2007

Just like his active career, Tarasiewicz started his managing career at Śląsk Wrocław. After 2 years, where he led the club to the II liga, he resigned due to conflicts with the club's then president Edward Ptak.

He went on to coach Jagiellonia Białystok, but was dismissed before the end of the season due to poor results.

On 19 June 2007, he yet again signed a contract with Śląsk Wrocław. In 2008, he led the club back to the highest Polish football league, the Ekstraklasa, making him the first manager in the club's history, who promoted twice with his team. On 22 September 2010, he was dismissed from his position due to a poor start to the 2010–11 Ekstraklasa season.

On 7 November 2011, he signed a contract with ŁKS Łódź.
