Radosław Kałużny (Polish pronunciation: [raˈdɔswaf kaˈwuʐnɨ]) (born February 2, 1974 in Góra, Lower Silesian Voivodeship) is a retired Polish football player. He usually played a holding midfield role during his career, but was unusually effective at attacking for a defensive midfielder, his international goalscoring record evidence of that. His main footballing attribute was perhaps his ability to retain possession for long periods of a game, due to a combination of accurate passing and excellent ball control. He also had a particularly venomous long-range shot. Perhaps his best season in football was the 2000/2001 season for Energie Cottbus, where his performances had many admirers. A criticism of Radoslaw during his career was that his mental attributes were less than desirable. He was easily wound up by opposition players, and often faded from games where his team was losing and needed him the most.
