After more than nine years of absence in the premier League is the former european champion Lars Olsen back in a trænerjob in the country’s best superliga.
He was fired in OB after three silver medals in a row and after eight years as a faroese national coach, is the most important task now is to save Esbjerg in Superliga.
A demanding mission in a season in which three clubs to leave the League, because the league goes from 14 to 12 teams next season.
– I could not wait for the Germany called. Therefore I smote for, as Jimmy Nagel (Esbjerg sports director, ed.) the bell rang, smiling, Lars Olsen, and then adds:
– the Challenge in Esbjerg sounded exciting. and I see the task as when I started in dallas 15 years ago. I know the premise in a season with three nedrykkere. We must have some points in the account, so Esbjerg can get away from nedrykningen, he explains.
the Contact between the parties has been going on for more than three weeks. The agreement came finally in place Thursday to Friday last week. And on Sunday, the contract was signed.
Lars Olsen is a typical 4-4-2 coach with the Faroe islands most often have practiced 4-2-3-1. He is known as a coach who puts emphasis on a strong and well organized defensive.
– If you need to play good offensive football, it requires that you have a strong and safe defense as the foundation. Esbjerg have had a bit of trouble with that score. When this is the case, you could keep the zero at the other end, points out Lars Olsen.

Lars Olsen coming to a club that has lived a little bit of an elevator-lives of the later years. The club last season and bronze medals last season. Now it is pure survival struggle out from the principle to bet on many young, self-produced players.
– It appeals to me Esbjerg is a club who bet on their own talents. I think the potential is great in Esbjerg on a team with a snitalder at 23-24 years. We must invest in young players, but they must also be able to strengthen our team, when they get the chance, he points out.
With three nedrykkere and a place as second to last is it a risky job Lars Olsen has assumed. He has made a contract for the summer of 2022 and the stand by the agreement.
– I will be in my job, if, contrary to expectations, ends with relegation. Now, the focus is on accumulating points, points out Lars Olsen.
He has from the sidelines followed, with in the premier League, in parallel with the landstrænerjobbet on the Faroe islands. And he has not been impressed by the quality along the way.
– There are periods of good and periods of time with less flashy games. I will say, that the quality in the League is very volatile, according to Lars Olsen, who maintains the Claus Nørgaard in the role as his assistant.
