As I already posted last May on my Twitter account (@diegofdezcoach), I have decided to end my time in Denmark, after a year coaching BK Amager.
This season, I ran the professional league team (the Women’s League) with which we reached both the league semi-finals and the cup semi-finals, with a team made up of four senior players, three of them international for Denmark, and the entire U19 group, plus two U17 players. A formative experience of great value for such a young team, and with which we were super close to playing in the league final (after forcing the playoff game).
I also had the opportunity to run two teams from our club’s academy, the U19, and the U17, working together in practices, and with the same idea of the style of playing and methodology.
With the U19 team, after being a cup finalist, we proclaimed ourselves, against all odds, league champions, defeating the top favorite in the final by a difference of seven points. Success for this fantastic and talented generation of players, who after working very hard the whole year, reached the well-deserved prize on the last day of the competition.
With the U17 team, we reached the final phase of the national league, being the entire team made up of first-year players and numerous U15s. A collective and attractive game was achieved, although keeping up with the finalists was difficult.
Thank you so much for everything BK Amager! I wish you the best of luck in the future, which I am sure will be brilliant for these fantastic generations of players.
