Johnny Mølby joins Team Sønderjylland Q to develop women’s football

Former European champion Johnny Mølby has signed a permanent agreement to help develop players and coaches at women’s football club Team Sønderjylland Q, DR reported on Thursday.

The club hopes Mølby will raise the quality of its training environment and expand opportunities for a generation of girls in the region. He said he was looking forward to taking part in their development after years as a player and coach.

Team Sønderjylland Q is an umbrella organisation for 10 smaller clubs in southern Jutland. Its first goal is to secure a licence for its youth programme. Board member Per Madsen said the club hopes to progress to higher levels within five years, with the longer-term ambition of establishing a team in the women’s league.

Mølby most recently worked as assistant coach at Egyptian club Al-Ahly SC, whose home matches drew up to 67,000 spectators. He will also teach on the football programme at Sønderborg Sports Folk High School.
