Kim Poulsen has become the second Danish Superleague coach in as many days to lose his job after Viborg FF announced on Tuesday that they had released him. Poulsen joins Benny Johansen, sacked by Silkeborg IF on Monday, in the jobless queue after winning just two games in 12 attempts this season.
Kusk appointed
Viborg have appointed former Aalborg BK player Soren Kusk as a temporary replacement. A press statement on the club's official website said: "As of today Viborg FF has ended its relationship with Kim Poulsen in the position of head coach for our Superligaen team. Soren Kusk will take over the position as head coach for the period until 31 December 2001."
Coaching experience
Kusk, 41, made 150 appearances for Aalborg before his retirement in 1985. He has also had spells as assistant coach of Aalborg and head coach of Randers SK Freja.
