International career

He debuted for the Poland national team in a 0–2 away win over San Marino on 10 September 2008. He was part of the roster for the UEFA Euro 2012 held in Poland and Ukraine, but remained benched for all three games played in the tournament by the co-hosts. He earned a total of 23 caps and made his final appearance in a 2–1 friendly win against Lithuania on 6 June 2014.[2]

Managerial career

Shortly after retiring from professional football in mid-2021, Wojtkowiak joined the technical staff of Lech Poznań's academy, starting off as an assistant coach of the under-19 team. In July 2023, he took charge of Lech's under-17s,[3] before moving up to Lech's senior team in December 2023 to work as an assistant under Mariusz Rumak.[4]

On 28 May 2024, three days after Lech's reserve side was relegated to the fourth division, Wojtkowiak was appointed as their new manager on a three-year contract.[5]
