Brøndby appoints former youth player Thomas Nørgaard as new head coach

Brøndby has appointed Thomas Nørgaard as the club's new head coach, replacing Steve Cooper after a disappointing spring season in the Superliga. The decision came after a several-week process involving extensive research and interviews with candidates.

Welcome back to Brøndby.

Football Director Julius Ohnesorge described Nørgaard, a former Brøndby youth player, as a top candidate. The club gathered information, data, and spoke with former players of potential coaches. Nørgaard's past connection to Brøndby, having been born in the area and played in the youth system, was seen as a significant advantage.

“

After the last game of the season, we said goodbye to our old head coach. Then we started a process that lasted several weeks. We had a long list of names that we have followed over a longer period.

Ohnesorge highlighted Nørgaard's understanding of Brøndby's values and the Danish Superliga. He noted Nørgaard's stability under pressure, stating, "We can trust that he is the same. He won't suddenly start improvising." Nørgaard's first day with the players is set for June 19, with the Superliga season starting about a month later.

He has analyzed Brøndby four times this season as an opponent. We had an eight-hour talk where we also discussed the analysis work.
