Next manager

[KernowHouseClaret]

Does anyone else read these names slowly just to check it’s not a joke name?

Kaspar isn't a joke name, far from it he's the current Danish National Manager, highly respected by all accounts

[bumba]

Kasper Hjulmand, ex danish national manager

Heard from someone linked to the club about the Danish manager earlier today but thought it was a bluff with him still at the Euros.
Why would he want to leave his national job for Burnley?

By joke names I mean like Ben Dover and Phil McCrackin. If I haven’t heard of them i immediately think someone is pulling my leg!

[ClaretTony]

Kasper Hjuland was the name I was given previously but he'd never been in the betting or anything before today

[Steddyman]

I don't think it can be him, because that would make Sultan right, and he is definitely a wind up merchant.

[Pearcey]

To be fair, I know him now I’ve been told but wasn’t aware of his name. Comes across as a class act.

[KernowHouseClaret]

Huge name of true Tony, one hell of a manager

[KRBFC]

Kasper Hjulmand, ex danish national manager

He’s the current Danish manager

He’s had a good few tournaments now to be fair?

[bumba]

I've just googled him didn't realise he was the manager when they got to the semi final and they've looked ok in these euros can't say I've heard much of him to be honest and his managerial career doesn't seem anything major to shout about

[warksclaret]

He’s the current Danish manager

Do we think this could tie in with the new coach from Denmark-Jensen

[ClaretTony]

Huge name of true Tony, one hell of a manager

I'll be honest - I didn't know anything about him until I was given the name, so looked him up. I know we shouldn't take much notice of the betting but given his name had never appeared I was somewhat sceptical. I got it second hand but was told who it had come from and I felt it must be genuine.

[bumba]

CT do you know if his contract is up after the Euros or are we paying him out?
He's down to 6/1 already from not even being on the list but OGS is in at 5/1 when he hadn't been near either

[Holtyclaret]

He’s the current Danish manager

Stand corrected and a very busy man until about 10pm tomorrow night!

[KernowHouseClaret]

Contracted until 2026 I believe, however that means nothing nowadays as we know

3/1 Sky Bet now

[Vegas Claret]

that would be an unreal appointment if we somehow got him.

edit: looking at the salary reports we could probably comfortably double his too.
Where did our new assistant come from ?

[helmclaret]

Contracted to Denmark until 31 July 2026.

[bumba]

Contracted until 2026 I believe, however that means nothing nowadays as we know

Wonder if it's a thank you and move on from the Danish FA or if we are buying him out

[helmclaret]

You’re talking like it’s a done deal?

[ArmchairDetective]

Never heard of him. Makes sense with us bringing in a Danish assistant though.

Can anyone stating he's one hell of a manager etc tell us why he is such?

[ervi34]

I think that would a very good appointment. But still, no real links yet.

[Steddyman]

To pour some water on the fire, his win percentage is pretty terrible. You would imagine a national team manager doesn't have to be constantly on the job like VK was, so I'm not sure how this fits.

But there is some money going on him for sure. They play tomorrow against Germany, so the expectation would be they lose.

That ties in with the timing of hoping to announce him next week.

[KernowHouseClaret]

Well, look at the way Denmark played at the last Euros for starters and how they played against England.
54 matches as Denmark Manager, 61% win record.

In his first stint at Nordsjælland they won their first ever Danish championship, despite having one of the lowest budgets in the league. He also guided them to the UEFA Champions League group stages.

[ArmchairDetective]

The odds on him joining have probably shortened significantly just by Claret Tony stating he'd heard the rumour and people on here lumping on

[Longsider]

Lurpack and Bacon sales are on the up. This one is happening. Get him over the line Pace maker.

[Pearcey]

He’s done well with Denmark but I remember how classy he was during and after the Christian Eriksen incident. A proper manager.

So we have to cheer on the Germans?
That's a big ask...

It’s happening!

[KernowHouseClaret]

How about Kasper Hjulmand as head coach and OGS as his assistant

[claret5]

Lurpack and Bacon sales are on the up. This one is happening. Get him over the line Pace maker.

And Carlsberg all round

[Longsider]

In true Burnley fashion, he probably is our man. Denmark now proceed to win the Euros. Spurs promptly sack their manager and he takes the job. We appoint Parker.

[HahaYeah]

Do we think this could tie in with the new coach from Denmark-Jensen

Supposedly Kompany brought him in.

[Steddyman]

I was looking forwards to having a TLA for a manager.

[RVclaret]

Would be really be interviewing for the job while concentrating on the Euros?

Won’t he want a break post Euros?

Both the above case some doubt on this for me.

[kentonclaret]

For what it’s worth here are a couple of snippets taken from Euro 2024 Previews

“This is a third major tournament for the 52 year old Hjulmand, who led Denmark to semifinals of Euro 2020. The former Lyngby and Nordsjaelland manager replaced Thomas Tuchel as Mainz boss in 2014 but lasted just 8 months with the Bundesliga club”.

Another writes

“Attack minded Kasper Hjulmand replaced pragmatist Age Hareide in slightly controversial circumstances and was thrust in at the deep end at Euro 2020. Denmark made the Semis, following that up with their best finish at a World Cup in 20 years”.

[Foshiznik]

He’s done well with Denmark but I remember how classy he was during and after the Christian Eriksen incident. A proper manager.

That was my first thought when I just read his name on this thread. Clearly a real leader.

Interview on Teams
He's managing a football team not working down a pit. He will be ok

[123EasyasBFC]

Suntan said wasn’t working at the euros

[HahaYeah]

Jurgen Klopp is a fan:

One of those is Jurgen Klopp who once told Allgemeine Zeitung: "Kasper, an extremely personable, pleasant guy, made an outstanding impression on me. What we discussed about soccer tactics wasn't just fun, it was sensational.

and some people would blame Pace

[Steddyman]

I thought he said he wasn't working at the Euros as a pundit?

In that case, it's happening.

[kentonclaret]

I can imagine that if he does end up being appointed as manager that the Pies contract will be cancelled and it will be Danish pastries at H/T.

[jedi_master]

Well, he certainly guided a lesser team to a very good performance against tournament favourites England the other day.

This does all seem to make sense with the frankly bizarre Assistant Manager appointment the other week. It’s hard to say ‘brilliant, he’s great, get him in’ when we only have a couple of tournaments where we could really recognise his work - but he seems a classy type and hopefully has some good irons in the fire in Scandinavia.

Maybe he’ll get Bruun-Larsen back too.

[Blyclaret]

Money piling on Kasper. 6/4 on bet vic. Fav now

How many times, last week wasn't an assistant manager, he came is as First Team Assistant Coach, not even Assistant Head Coach. This deal was done weeks ago, agreed in principle before VK left with the anticipation Bellamy was leaving. He's just been added to the ranks, we appear to be going down the coach route so that we don't have all the coaches taken from the club when a Head Coach leaves.

Reading that, he ticks a lot of boxes for us:
* Good with developing young players
* Plays attractive attacking football
* Good at working under tight budgets
* Played and coached in America
* Contacts within the game
* Acts with dignity

After reading that, yes please.

[Aclaret]

'Super Kasp'.....it has a ring to it.

[helmclaret]

Interesting as he has only been listed on Bet Victor in the last hour.

[Blyclaret]

Wow 1/1 now ..
