In 2011 club achieved silver medal of the FIVB World Club Championship 2011. In season 2012/2013 won a bronze medal of Polish Championship. In 2013/2014 the club advanced to the Final Four of the Champions League held in Ankara, Turkey and after defeating VC Zenit Kazan won the bronze medal.^[2]^[3] Jastrzębski Węgiel beat ZAKSA Kędzierzyn-Koźle in last matches in the battle for a medal. Club ended the season with another bronze in the Polish Championship.^[4] After end of season 2013/2014 the team left head coach Lorenzo Bernardi and one of main players, Michał Kubiak, who agreed with Jastrzębski Węgiel, that after the end of the contract in Turkey, he will return to the Polish club.^[5]

In 2014/2015 a head coach of team was Italian Roberto Piazza. Club led by him took 4th place in 2014–15 PlusLiga because of lost with PGE Skra Bełchatów in battle of bronze. Piazza left club after this season and he was replaced by Australian coach Mark Lebedew.^[6]^[7] Before season 2015/2016 club left a few main players: previous captain and opposite Michał Łasko, opposite Mateusz Malinowski, outside hitter Zbigniew Bartman.

On January 12, club informed about firing the current head coach Lebedew from the position due to weaker sports results, although the team won 2 of 2 group matches in the Champions League and took fourth place in the league at the time. The dismissal of the head coach took place two days after losing the quarter-finals of the 2017-18 Polish Cup with ONICO Warszawa (2-3). His duties were taken over by the assistant Leszek Dejewski, and the next official head coach Ferdinando De Giorgi took over the team on January 21, 2018.^[8]
