The National Team Coaches (2022)
The Danish men's national football team has done fantastic for more than 40 years. On the eve of this winter's World Cup finals, TV 2 has gathered luminaries Sepp Piontek, Bo Johansson, Morten Olsen, Åge Hareide and Kasper Hjulmand at Hotel Marienlyst in Helsingør, where they have a good football chat - both about the past and the present.
Seasons & Episode
The mood peaks when Sepp Piontek tells how he disciplined the Danes. Because it may well be that the 1980s team didn't win trophies, but instead they won hearts around the world.
A secret guest with a big stake in the EURO '92 triumph surprises the national team coaches, and then stories are told about the time when Denmark suddenly became an outsider to the World Cup gold.
It can be a lot of work for a national team coach to keep track of rebels like Bendtner and Elkjær. The same also applies to the press, who are always on the lookout.
Åge Hareide inherited a fiery conflict and a national team without confidence, but the Norwegian overcame both and even made the national team invincible.
Kasper Hjulmand talks about the events behind the scenes on the fateful evening in Parken, when Christian Eriksen collapsed - and what happened in the time that followed.
