The
Coach
SWEDEN BO JOHANSSON took
over as national coach in the summer of 1996 after Richard Moeller Nielsen's
squad gave a poor account of themselves in Euro '96. Denmark went
into the competition as reigning European champions following their stunning
victory in Sweden four years previously, but failed to make any impact.
Johansson took control after the finals and revitalised the team with some
keen youngsters who have done well in the qualifiers. An economist
by education, Johansson enjoys great popularity ampng the Danish public,
media and his team, which he is remoulding into a more aggressive side.
After spells as a club trainer in Norway and Greece, Johansson coached
Iceland in the early 1990s. He also led Danish first division Silkeborg
to the 1994 league championship during a previous two-year spell in Denmark.
