In 2012, Piast Gliwice found itself at a crossroads. After years of struggles and uncertainty, the club's management decided to implement comprehensive reforms aimed not only at improving sporting results but also at stabilizing the club financially. The introduction of a new coaching staff, including coach Waldemar Fornalik, was crucial for Piast's future. Fornalik, who had previously enjoyed success at Ruch Chorzów, became the architect of a new playing philosophy based on solid defense and effective attacking.

The club's management, aware of the local market's potential, invested in young players and the development of the football academy. As a result, Piast began to attract talent from the region, strengthening ties with fans and the local community. In 2013, after several seasons in lower leagues, the team managed to secure promotion to the Ekstraklasa, marking one of the most significant moments in the club's history.

The new era of Piast Gliwice inspired both players and fans. The atmosphere at the stadium became much more positive, and attendance increased. Fans began to dream of success again, leading to increasingly better results on the pitch. In the 2018/2019 season, Piast won its first Polish championship, which was the crowning achievement of years of hard work.

The revolution at Piast Gliwice not only changed the face of the club but also influenced the entire league. Piast became a team that everyone wanted to face, and their style of play gained recognition throughout the country. Today, reflecting on those moments, one can confidently say that 2012 was a turning point that defined the club's future for many years to come.
