FCM in shock as coach resigns

Glen Riddersholm steps down weeks after winning the club’s first league title

The fans and players of FC Midtjylland football club are in a state of shock following the resignation of their championship-winning coach Glen Riddersholm with immediate effect.

The news comes like a bolt of lightning on a sunny day for the Wolves, which just a few week ago won their first ever Superliga title and are gearing up for the Champions League qualifiers.

“After difficult considerations, I have decided to resign from my position as head coach of FC Midtjylland,” Riddersholm said. “I deeply appreciate my time in FCM and I want to thank all the fantastic people who make FCM a fantastic place to work every day.”

“I’ve been honest to myself and have admitted there are every-day compromises that I no longer can accept should I want to remain the best version of myself and the leader I want to be for the players and staff.”

Riddersholm has been involved with FCM since the club was founded in 1999 when he was a youth coach. He then became the assistant coach in 2008 before assuming the head coach’s reins in 2011.

Assistant coach Brian Priske will take over as an interim coach until a long-term replacement can be found.
