Under Kasperczak’s leadership, Wisła Kraków won the Polish Championship twice (2002/2003 and 2003/2004), lifted the Polish Cup twice (2002 and 2003), and made an impact on the European stage – famously eliminating Schalke 04 and Parma and coming within a whisker of the Champions League group stage.
