Passionate leader

He said: "Of course I know Morten as a player but it is primarily as a coach that I come to know him as a competent and very passionate leader who’s willing to improve Danish football on all levels. "It will be a big challenge to coach some of the best players in Europe but I am sure I am the man for the job".
