Janusz Michallik

Janusz Michallik (born April 22, 1966, in Chorzów, Poland) is a former professional soccer player, coach, and current television sports commentator.

Michallik moved to the United States with his father Krystian, a former Poland national team player, at the age of 16.

His father had previously spent time in the U.S. in 1976 when he played for the Hartford Bicentennials of the North American Soccer League.

In 1984, he signed with the Cleveland Force of the Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) and played a single season with the team.

As hosts of the 1994 World Cup, the United States qualified automatically, thus not having to qualify through the CONCACAF region's qualification tournament, and he was frequently summoned for friendlies, which he scored his first and only international goal for the United States in a 2–0 away triumph over Saudi Arabia in Riyadh.

He currently lives in Glastonbury, Connecticut, with his wife, Marzena and son, Daniel, who played collegiate soccer for the DePaul Blue Demons.
