Under Frenchman Stephane Antiga, the Polish team won 68 out of the 100 matches it played since 2014. A decision not to renew his contract to coach Poland was made after the Polish squad failed to win a medal at the Rio Olympics last year.
Russia and France will also participate in the Kraków tournament, which will be held from 11-13 August.
The tournament is named after Hubert Jerzy Wagner, who coached the Polish team to a world championship victory in 1974 and Olympic gold medal in 1976. (vb/pk)
