Jarosław Skrobacz (born 11 August 1967) is a Polish professional football manager who was most recently in charge of II liga club Stal Stalowa Wola.
Career In 2016, he was appointed manager of Polish side GKS Jastrzębie, and won consecutive promotions with the Silesian side, from fourth to second division. In 2021, he was appointed manager of then-third division side Ruch Chorzów. With Skrobacz in charge, Ruch achieved a similar feat to GKS Jastrzębie under Skrobacz's tenure, making a step up from II liga to I liga in 2022, and to Ekstraklasa in 2023, marking the club's return to the top flight after a six-year absence.
Following a poor start to the 2023–24 campaign, with the team placed 17th in the table after achieving only one win in thirteen Ekstraklasa games, Skrobacz left Ruch on 6 November 2023.
On 1 March 2024, Skrobacz was appointed manager of I liga side Podbeskidzie Bielsko-Biała, signing a contract until the end of 2024–25 season. At the time of his appointment, his new team was placed second-last in the league table, five points away from safety with 13 games left in the season. Podbeskidzie was unable to save themselves from relegation, and Skrobacz left the club on 17 June 2024.
On 1 October 2024, he became the manager of another second division outfit Odra Opole, signing a one-year deal with an option for another year. His final game as Odra manager was a 2–0 home defeat to Stal Mielec on 1 March 2026. The next day, the club announced that Skrobacz had departed with immediate effect. He left Odra in fourteenth place in the league.
On 17 July 2026, third-tier side Stal Stalowa Wola announced Skrobacz as their new manager. He led Stal in nine matches, with a record of two wins, one draw and six losses. He was relieved of his duties on 15 September 2026.
