FC Copenhagen have appointed former Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Stale Solbakken as the club's new coach.

Despite widely being considered Scandinavia's biggest club, FC Copenhagen have failed to win any of their opening five Superliga games so far this season, something which led to the exit of Ariel Jacobs.

 


Now the Danish giants have turned to a familiar face for help, with Solbakken boasting a previous stint in charge of the club between 2006 and 2011, a spell which yielded five titles and one Danish Cup.

Solbakken was appointed at English side Wolves last summer, but struggled during his time in charge and was sacked in January with the club languishing at the bottom end of the Championship.

Now he returns to a former hunting ground and cannot wait to get started.

"When I left the club last time I had the idea that someday I would come back", Solbakken said at his unveiling.

"But I did not expect it would be in two years.

"Circumstances have made it such though that it is the right time for the club and for me."
