Kasper Hulmand has stepped down as Denmark coach after Euro 2016. He helped Denmark reach the last 16 of the tournament. But they were eliminated by hosts Germany.
Peter Moller, the director of football at the Danish Football Association, and Hulmand reviewed the national team’s performance and concluded that a change in coach was necessary. They have
appointed Morten Vighorst as caretaker manager until the new year.
However, Hulmand will continue to work with the association in an advisory capacity, helping with player development projects and creating new opportunities for the next generation. Hulmand took over
from Aage Hareide in 2019 and has impressed, guiding http://ufabet999.app Denmark
to the semi-finals of Euro 2021, where they were beaten by England in extra time.
They also performed well in World Cup and Euro 2022 qualifiers, but their performance at the 2022 World Cup was disappointing, finishing bottom of their group.
KASPER HJULMAND
It is not often that an assistant succeeds their manager and then goes on to outshine them, but Kasper Hjulmand did just that early in his coaching career. After three years as Morten Wieghorst’s number two at Nordsjaelland. Hjulmand was handed the reins. At the Danish Superliga club in the summer of 2011. Then, in his first season in charge, Hjulmand led Nordsjaelland to their first ever league title – and with it a foray into the Champions League group stage, where they faced Chelsea and Juventus.
Hjulmand then had a brief spell at Mainz, where he succeeded Thomas Tuchel, before another impressive – albeit less successful – stint at Nordsjaelland between 2016 and 2019. Then in 2020, he was given the Denmark manager’s job. After Euro 2020 was delayed by a year. He led his nation to the European Championship semi finals, where they were defeated by England.
His work has now been recognised on the world stage. And there are suggestions that he is destined to work in a top European league before long. We’ve taken a detailed look at the football Hjulmand likes his teams to play.
