Denmark coach Hjulmand resigns after Euro 2024 exit

Kasper Hjulmand has resigned from his role as Denmark head coach following the team’s last-16 exit at Euro 2024.

Denmark scraped through Group C in Germany with three draws, before losing 2-0 to hosts Germany in a round-of-16 tie featuring several controversial VAR interventions.

It was Denmark’s second underwhelming tournament in a row, after they crashed out in the group stage at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Hjulmand took the reins in 2020 after Age Hareide’s departure, with his first tournament his most successful as Denmark reached the Euro 2020 semi-finals, losing to England in extra time.

“It has been an incredible honour and privilege to be allowed to coach our national team for four years,” Hjulmand said in a statement released on Friday.
