About me

Opinions of people who have trusted me

I know Łukasz from his work at Legia Warszawa, where he was a coach and then a coordinator. Łukasz brings things to a higher level. I see a potential in him as a coordinator because, he has been a very active person with lots of professional knowledge. I immediately liked his professionalism, commitment, and coaching skills. Łukasz is an expert in football tactics and analysis. He also did a great job as an organiser and a leader. I believe that you don't often come across such persons and that is why I am pulling for his success.

Piotr Urban

Łukasz is an extraordinary person with whom I had the pleasure of working in business. Together, we created various companies, including the Football Conference project, which became one of the most important training conferences in Poland. For 10 editions, we gathered thousands of participants and cooperated with dozens of speakers and companies. Łukasz is an honest, valuable and trustworthy business partner. His determination and ability to achieve goals are extremely inspiring.

Krzysztof Góra

I have been working with Łukasz for several months at the Legia Warszawa Football Academy. During this time, he has become known as a person with a high level of commitment and accuracy in everything he does. What is commendable about the analytical and coaching work he does is the high level of communication that Łukasz can be proud of. Yet another aspect proving his class as a coach and a human being is his constant willingness to develop. This is a skill of outstanding coaches

Dr Marcin Kochanowski

As an “Assistant Coach”, we have been co-operating with Łukasz Pachelski in the capacity of an “Assistant Coach” for many years. Always, during our joint activities, he has acted as a professional, perfectly prepared for the tasks he deals with. Łukasz is characterised by excellent substantive and organisational preparation at all times. In conclusion, we definitely recommend Łukasz and co-operation with him!

Marcin Papierz

As a Director, I have worked for 3 years with Lukasz in Legia Warsaw, the biggest club in Poland. At the beginning as a coach and later as coordinator of the Analyze Department. During this time he showed professionality, curiosity for innovations, loyalty, huge engagement, willingness to develop himself and a lecturer with good communication skills.

Richard Grootscholten

Thanks to the cooperation with Coach Pachelski, we managed not only to develop a value model that integrated the team mentally, to get promoted to a higher competition class, but we also managed to improve the quality of the organisation of the entire club, the team and the coaching staff, the tactical preparation and to enter a higher professional level.

What values should the club and the footballer represent?

In one of the interviews you can see below, I talk about the values we should represent at the club. This was an important part of the message directed not only at the fans, but also at the players. It is important to create these values collectively so that they knit the team together.
