Axed: Roland Nilsson
11 April 2012
Former Sheffield Wednesday defender Roland Nilsson was sacked as Copenhagen manager today after only six months in charge.
The Swede led the club to the league title last season and Copenhagen are currently four points ahead of Nordsjaelland at the top of the table.
However, they failed to get past the group stages of the Champions League and Nilsson opposed the sale of midfielder William Kvist to Stuttgart in the transfer window.
Chief executive Anders Horsfolt said: "We have had to realise that there hasn't been an understanding between Copenhagen and Roland Nilsson about how to take the team further and therefore our paths have to part."
Sports director Carsten Jensen has been placed in temporary charge.
