  • Nordsjælland Håndbold appointed Lasse Folkmann as head coach on a three-year contract.
  • Tobias Aagaard left in August after the club said he communicated unacceptably with young players.
  • Folkmann’s first match will be against Kolding IF, with interim coach Nicolaj Jensen staying on as his assistant.

Nordsjælland Håndbold has appointed Lasse Folkmann as its new head coach on a three-year contract.

The club dismissed Tobias Aagaard in mid-August, shortly after hiring him, saying he had communicated unacceptably with young players. Nicolaj Jensen has led the team on an interim basis since then and will become Folkmann’s assistant.

Club director Kim Scheuer Nielsen called Folkmann “an unpolished diamond” and a sharp coach with league experience at Sønderjyske and Fredericia. He also described him as popular and a good fit for the club’s identity and its 2030 vision, which aims to move Nordsjælland toward the top of Danish handball.

Folkmann’s first assignment will come on Sunday against Kolding IF. Under Jensen, Nordsjælland opened its first three league matches with one win and two defeats.

Lasse is an unpolished diamond and a razor-sharp coach with league experience from Sønderjyske and Fredericia.
