A month after he was sacked at FC Midtjylland, Thomas Thomasberg has been hired as new coach of Pogon Szczecin, who is currently in 13th spot in the Polish domestic league.
Thomasberg has signed a three-year contract, the Polish club announced on Tuesday on its website.
The long-time Danish Superliga coach was fired at FC Midtjylland on 27 August, but he continued to lead the team in two subsequent games before being replaced by Mike Tullberg.
Previously, he has also coached Hjorring, Hobro, and Randers. Now the football coach from Mejrup near Holstebro will be a head coach abroad for the first time.
Pogon Szczecin is in 13th spot after ten rounds in the Polish Ekstraklasa. The team fired its head coach two weeks ago, and the club's interim head coach has lost two out of two games.
The city of Szczecin has approximately 400,000 inhabitants, in northern Poland near the border with Germany.
50-year-old Thomasberg will be presented at a press conference later on Tuesday. On Tuesday, he will also have his first training session with the team.
On Friday evening, Thomasberg and Pogon Szczecin will try to reverse the negative streak of three successive league defeats when the team takes on the bottom team Piast in the prime Polish league.
In the first ten league games, the Polish team has conceded six defeats.
Pogon lost their most recent match 0-1 away to Legia Warsaw, where Danish striker Mileta Rajovic turned into match match-winner as he converted a penalty after four minutes.
