Robert Warzycha (Polish pronunciation: [ˈrɔbɛrt vaˈʐɨxa]) (born 20 August 1963 in Siemkowice) is a Polish former professional association football player.
Warzycha had a long career in Europe, playing for teams in Poland, Hungary and England with Everton in the Premier League. He won two Polish Ekstraklasa titles and a Polish Super Cup with Górnik Zabrze. Warzycha was also a regular member of the Poland national football team throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s, amassing 47 caps.
He moved to the United States in 1996 and subsequently spent seven seasons in Major League Soccer with Columbus Crew. He later served as a coach for the team, serving as head coach for five seasons.
Warzycha came to MLS in 1996 after a long career in Poland and England. He came to Everton for £500,000 in March 1991 from Polish club Górnik Zabrze. He spent four years (1991–94) with Everton and also played in his native Poland and Hungary.
He was one of only thirteen players not from the British Isles to play on the opening weekend of the FA Premier League along with Jan Stejskal, Peter Schmeichel, Andrei Kanchelskis, Roland Nilsson, Eric Cantona, Hans Segers, John Jensen, Anders Limpar, Gunnar Halle, Craig Forrest, Michel Vonk and Ronnie Rosenthal and was also the first player from mainland Europe to score in the Premier League. His goal was the only one ever to be scored by a Polish player in the competition until Marcin Wasilewski scored in January 2015, 22 and a half years later.
