Kasper Hjulmand, the head coach of Denmark, questions Fifa’s armband policy.

Kasper Hjulmand, the head of Denmark’s national team, has questioned the moral position taken by Fifa in the ‘One Love’ captain’s armband dispute.

The seven European countries, including Denmark, England, and Wales, who had agreed to wear the armbands in Qatar said they would no longer do so out of concern that their captains might receive a yellow card.

After Tunisia held Denmark to a scoreless draw in their World Cup debut, Hjulmand expressed his outrage. Denmark had just advanced to the semifinals of Euro 2020.

“This is something that has been built up for a long time and now in the latest days this is where we are,” said Hjulmand.

“We have this slogan in Denmark, ‘Part of something bigger and now I’m sure I’m part of something I like. I love football and I love people, but it’s important to change direction.

“I hope a lot of young progressive people will enter governing bodies, thrive, and do something great, and also that we show more empathy with each other. That’s maybe my two biggest dreams.”

Hjulmand acknowledged that as he got ready for Denmark’s opening World Cup game, he found the entire situation around the armband “tough.”

He said:

“I don’t if you can imagine how much focus goes on to the pitch at a World Cup – and how these players are affected.

“I have to protect my players, because of the focus and amounts of energy you have to play with and where they are in their life, it’s not right to put on the players.

“It is enormously difficult to spend hours thinking about what actions you can take. I’m only talking about myself when I say I find the situation difficult right now.”

Kasper Hjulmand’s Career, What is his profession?

Defender Hjulmand signed with Herlev IF in the winter of 1992 after spending the first four years of his career at Randers Freja. He spent two seasons playing for Herlev IF before transferring to B.93 in the 1995 winter. In 1994, he also played for the North Florida Ospreys, making 18 games and tallying six goals. Hjulmand was forced to retire from football at the age of 26 after three seasons with B93 due to a knee injury.

From January 1, 2006, until July 7, 2008, when he switched to being an assistant coach with FC Nordsjaelland, Hjulmand served as the head coach of Lyngby. He assumed the position of FC Nordsjlland’s head coach on July 1, 2011, and remained in that position until May 18, 2014, when he drew 2-2 with Bradby in his final game in that capacity. With Hjulmand in charge, Nordsjlland captured their first Danish title.

On December 15, 2015, word spread that Hjulmand will take over as Nordsjaelland’s manager once more on January 1, 2016. In the 2015–16 Danish Superliga, Hjulmand was able to turn the team around, and the club finished in ninth place. He guided Nordsjlland to sixth and third-place finishes in the team’s next two seasons.

Contract with Anderlecht

Hjulmand and RSC Anderlecht were linked in January 2019, but Fred Rutten was chosen instead because Nordsjlland demanded compensation that Anderlecht was unwilling to provide.  He announced that he would leave Nordsjlland in the summer of 2019 at the conclusion of his contract after the failed contract with Anderlecht.

Hjulmand left Nordsjlland on March 25, 2019, by mutual agreement, having qualified for the Danish Superliga’s Championship round for the 2018–19 season.

When Ge Hareide’s contract expired following the UEFA Euro 2020 competition, it was confirmed in June 2019 that Hjulmand would succeed Hareide as manager of the Denmark national football team. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Euro 2020 event was postponed, hence Hareide did not captain the team. He guided Denmark to the semifinals of the Euro 2020, where they fell to England 2-1 after extra time and a contentious penalty.
