Ex-Playboy model takes over football club

Former Playboy model Izabela Lukomska-Pyzalska has become director of Polish football club Warta Poznan but she's warned the players not to expect a soft touch.

In her acceptance speech she said footballers had become too soft and pledged: "I will run this place with an iron fist".
 
Izabela Lukomska-Pyzalska, who has worked as a model for men’s magazines such as Playboy and CKM, says she would like to restore the club to the top-flight Ektraklasa, which it has not played matches in since the mid-1990s.
 
"I want the club to shine again. I believe that the team will play impressively and will attract more fans to the stadium," Lukomska-Pyzalska said.
 
"I used to work in a building company, which I think was also operated as football clubs should be and that means ruling with an iron fist. I will make sure that there is order and discipline at the club," promised the former model.

She takes over at a time when Warta Poznan FC is currently in danger of being relegated from the "first division", which, in fact, is the second division under the Ektraklasa premier league in Poland.
