2022 FIFA World Cup: Who is the coach for Denmark?

The Belgians are led into this tournament by their coach Kasper Hjulmand, who has been at the helm since 2020 after succeeding Åge Hareide.

Kasper Hjulmand, who himself had a brief playing career, which was cut short as a result of a serious knee injury mainly featured in the Danish leagues, with teams like Herlev IF
and B.93.

He began his professional coaching career at Lyngby but later accepted an offer to work as the assistant coach at FC Nordsjælland, where he eventually took over as head coach succeeding Morten Wieghorst in 2011.

He led Nordsjælland to their first Danish championship before making a headline move to Mainz 05 to replace Thomas Tuchel.

During his tenure, Denmark has risen to the top ten of the FIFA rankings,  reaching their best ever year-end of 9th position in the FIFA Men’s Ranking in December 2021. However, after a semi-final elimination in Euro 2020, Kasper will be looking to secure silverware for his beloved Denmark
