FCK say Jess to Thorup
Elsewhere, FC Copenhagen have moved on from legendary coach Ståle Solbakken by bringing on Jess Thorup as his replacement.
The move has come as quite the surprise, given that the 50-year-old only recently signed a long-term deal with Belgian outfit Genk.
Thorup, who has also enjoyed fruitful spells with Gent, FC Midtjylland, Esbjerg and the Danish under-21 side, has inked a deal until the summer of 2024.
