Marek Mirosław Saganowski (Polish pronunciation: [ˈmarɛk miˈrɔswaf saɡaˈnɔfskʲi]; born 31 October 1978 in Łódź) is a retired Polish football player who played as a striker.
In a much-travelled career, he has represented clubs in Poland, Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal, France, England, Denmark and Greece.
Saganowski made his full international debut for Poland in 1996 and has since earned 35 caps, scoring 5 goals. He represented the nation at UEFA Euro 2008.
Saganowski was born in Łódź, Poland and began his career in 1994 with his local club ŁKS Łódź, playing there for six seasons, with brief loan spells at Feyenoord in 1996 and with Hamburger SV in early 1997. Neither of these loan spells was a particular success and he returned to ŁKS in the summer of 1997 to rebuild his career. In 1997–98, he made 22 appearances for ŁKS Łódź, but his career was interrupted by a serious motor-cycle accident in 1998 following which he was unable to walk. He slowly recovered from the injuries, and returned to playing for ŁKS Łódź, although his goal-scoring abilities did not recover initially.
He moved to Wisła Płock in 2000 and then to Odra Wodzisław the following year. He switched to Legia Warszawa in January 2003 where he returned to form, scoring 41 goals in 67 games. In 2005 he moved to Portugal's Vitoria Guimaraes where he notched 12 goals in his one season there.
At the beginning of the 2006–07 season, he moved to French club Troyes AC for £1 million, but only made six substitute appearances for them and failed to score, spending most of his time in the reserves.
