Tadeusz Pawłowski (born 14 October 1953) is a Polish former footballer and currently a manager who last managed Śląsk Wrocław. Pawłowski has spent the majority of his career playing and managing for football teams in the Wrocław area, spending the majority of his career playing for Śląsk Wrocław. Pawłowski received five caps for Poland between the years 1976-79.

Pawłowski grew up going to many Śląsk Wrocław games with his father, and was a fan of the club. Despite being a fan of Śląsk, the area of Wrocław in which he grew up was located between two stadiums, the stadium for Śląsk Wrocław and the stadium for Pafawag Wrocław. As a result, Pafawag Wrocław started his youth career training with Pafawag Wrocław, a team many of his friends growing up also decided to train with.^[1]

Pawłowski started his managerial career with SC Bregenz, the last team he played with professionally. He joined Śląsk Wrocław for a brief spell in 1992-93, before returning to Austria to manage SV St. Margarethen and Rheindorf Altach. In 2003 Pawłowski returned to the city of his birth to manage lower league sides Polar Wrocław (two spells in 2003 and 2005) and Bystrzyca Kąty Wrocławskie. In 2005 Pawłowski once again went back to Austria, this time to manage FC Blau-Weiß Feldkirch. After three years in Feldkirch, Pawłowski joined Austrian youth football team AKA Vorarlberg, where he managed the team for 6 years. 2014 saw Pawłowski returning to Poland when he signed to be manager of Śląsk Wrocław^[10] for the second time. Under his leadership Śląsk finished in 4th, and qualified for the UEFA Europa League qualifying rounds. Despite his initial success with Śląsk, Pawłowski joined Wisła Kraków^[11] at the end of 2015. His time at Wisła was not very successful, and he was without a job a few months later. In 2018 Pawłowski once again joined Śląsk Wrocław for his third spell at the club.^[12] However with the squad struggling and performances seeing Śląsk just above the relegation zone, Pawłowski was dismissed as the first team coach in December of the same year.^[13]
