I don't understand any of that.
I don't think he has shown anything at all when he was head coach.
I don't know if the Finnish federation has such limited funds that they have to take from the 3rd shelf, but I wonder if they could still get something better.

Then we just need a Danish national coach in Norway

Fantastic. Good choice by the Finns.

Greven 89.. Wasn't he extremely well-liked in both Aab and Viborg? The points average was probably also ok in both clubs.
The real John
I heard from a player in Viborg that theoretically/strategically he is pretty clueless. That is his big weakness.

@Greven89
I would now venture to say that he has been Viborg's best coach in the past 20 years. He took over for Lars Friis and raised both play and results by at least a level or two, and Viborg has since fallen back to those levels since Jakob Poulsen took over. So yes, he has to a certain extent – but of course only at Danish Superliga level.
I wouldn't say that that alone is enough for a national coach job, but I would never have guessed that Lars Friis could become coach at Sparta Prague.

So if Iceland can get Åge Hareide, then the Finns can also get a more competent coach than Friis : )
He is a skilled coach, but imo he does not have the national team potential of that caliber
maybe the smaller nations like the Faroe Islands etc
But you can be positively surprised

Iceland is a bigger football nation than Finland.

And Jacob Friis is a better coach than Åge Hariede.
If Bælum and Inge had just brought back the right Friis, instead of publicly blaming themselves in the hunt for the wrong Friis, today would have looked much better.

He was poor with us in AaB.
