Denmark head coach Nikolaj Jacobsen has reportedly found his preferred candidate for the vacant assistant coach position, but the appointment has not yet been officially confirmed.
According to Danish outlet TV2 Sport, Jacobsen has singled out a successor following the departure of Henrik Kronborg. However, there has been no formal announcement from the Danish federation, and the situation should still be viewed as pending.
Møllgaard linked to the role
The report points to Henrik Møllgaard as the leading candidate to join the national team staff. The experienced defender recently ended his playing career and has already begun transitioning into coaching at club level with PSG.
Møllgaard is widely regarded for his leadership and defensive expertise from his years with the Danish national team, making him a natural fit for a potential role alongside Jacobsen.
Awaiting official confirmation
While Jacobsen appears to have made his choice, the Danish Handball Federation has yet to confirm the appointment publicly. Until that happens, the situation remains unresolved in official terms.
Denmark are entering a new phase following a highly successful period, and the assistant coach role is a key piece in maintaining continuity. Whether Møllgaard will formally step into the position is expected to be clarified in the near future.
