Jakob Michelsen will become the new coach of Denmark's women's national team after the upcoming European Championship, the Danish Football Association said on Wednesday.

Michelsen will take over from Andree Jeglertz after the tournament in Switzerland, which runs throughout July.

The 44-year-old Michelsen joins from Norwegian men's side HamKam and has signed an agreement until 2028, with the possibility of extensions.

The Danish team, whose best result was a runner-up finish in 2017 when they lost to the Netherlands, will play in Group C against Sweden, Germany and Poland.
