Seweryn Daniel Gancarczyk ({{IPA|pl|sɛˈvɛrɨn ˈdaɲɛl ɡanˈt͡sart͡ʂɨk}}; born 22 November 1981) is a Polish professional football manager and former player who played as a left-back. He is currently in charge of III liga club Górnik Zabrze II, and serves as an assistant manager of their senior team.
Club career
Gancarczyk started to play football in his early teens, in junior teams of Podkarpacie Pustynia. After several seasons there and after a short spell at second division club Hetman Zamość, Gancarczyk made his way to the capital of Ukraine, Kyiv, where he joined local Arsenal Kyiv. Having also briefly performed for west Ukrainian club Volyn Lutsk, Gancarczyk was transferred to Metalist Kharkiv, where he has remained since, and has reached a position of vice-captain at the club.Source: [http://eng.metallist.kharkov.ua/tournament/showplayer/1/6/100/ Metalist Kharkiv Official Website] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090217195724/http://eng.metallist.kharkov.ua/tournament/showplayer/1/6/100/ |date=2009-02-17 }} {{in lang|en}}
In 2007, he was voted the best left-back in Ukraine.Source: [http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/sport/display.var.1983512.0.polish_target_to_cost_celts_1m.php Evening Times] {{in lang|en}}
During the winter of 2008, Gancarczyk had a try-out with Scottish club Celtic, however due to an injury, he was unable to compete and so returned to Metalist.
In January 2018, Gancarczyk joined Rozwój Katowice.[http://www.dziennikzachodni.pl/sport/pilka-nozna/a/seweryn-gancarczyk-z-przytupem-zamknalem-stadion-slaski-teraz-chetnie-go-otworze,12884064/ Seweryn Gancarczyk: Z przytupem zamknąłem Stadion Śląski - teraz chętnie go otworzę]‚ dziennikzachodni.pl, 26 January 2018 He played for the club until the summer 2019, when he joined Podlesianka Katowice.[http://podlesianka.katowice.pl/2019/07/19/seweryn-gancarczyk-w-podlesiance/ Seweryn Gancarczyk w Podlesiance!], podlesianka.katowice.pl, 19 July 2019
International career
Debuting for his country in 2006 in a 0–1 loss against Lithuania, the defender was named to the 23-men squad for the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany.
On 14 October 2009, during Poland's last game of the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Slovakia, Gancarczyk scored an own goal in the 3rd minute of the game, condemning Poland to a 1–0 defeat and enabling Slovakia to qualify for the World Cup.

While still playing for Podlesianka, Gancarczyk began coaching youth teams of Rozwój Katowice. On 7 June 2022, he joined I liga club Górnik Łęczna's staff as an assistant under Marcin Prasoł.{{cite web |title=Seweryn Gancarczyk asystentem trenera Górnika Łęczna |url=http://www.90minut.pl/news/319/news3199594-Seweryn-Gancarczyk-asystentem-trenera-Gornika-Leczna.html |website=90minut.pl |access-date=12 June 2024 |language=pl |date=7 June 2022}} He left the club on 25 February 2023 along with Prasoł.{{cite web |title=Marcin Prasoł odchodzi z Górnika Łęczna |url=http://www.90minut.pl/news/324/news3245567-Marcin-Prasol-odchodzi-z-Gornika-Leczna.html |website=90minut.pl |access-date=12 June 2024 |language=pl |date=25 March 2023}}
