Coach Michal Gašparík said about Maksymilian Pingot that players need to play, not just train, and that they have to be on the pitch. Pingot, a 23-year-old Polish centre-back, plays for Górnik Zabrze, having joined from Lech Poznań in July 2025 for a reported fee of around €200,000. At the time of that transfer, it was also reported that Lech Poznań secured a buy-back option valued between €700,000 and €800,000. The former Poland U21 international has 11 caps and 1 goal for the team, and has a contract with Górnik Zabrze until June 2028 and a current Transfermarkt market value of €250k. Odra Opole has been mentioned as a club with interest in the player.
