Euro 2020 Managers we Could See at a Top European Club

Denmark have had a turbulent time at Euro 2020 and this in itself has put Kasper Hjulmand as a highly sought after man. Since Christian Eriksen's collapse, Denmark have shown signs of quality in the remainder of their games and proven to be a legitimately competitive outfit.

Although they lost 2-1 to a strong Belgium side, Kasper Hjulmand set his side up to put in an energetic performance, showing they could threaten in the tournament. Combining that performance with a 4-1 demolition of Russia and a 4-0 drubbing over Wales, Hjulmand has gained recognition as a manager who can set up an attacking side and produce positive performances.

However, he doesn’t have a lot of top-flight experience in a major league, so a team in the Championship may want to take a chance on the Dane and give him time to develop a project and help the club progress.

Janne Andersson has been in charge of the Swedish national team since 2016. He led them to a World Cup quarter-final finish in 2018 and has topped a group including Luis Enrique’s Spain in the tournament. The experienced Swede has shown that building a solid platform and allowing attackers to express themselves can get results and produce solid performances.

He allowed the flair of the likes of Emil Forsberg, Alexander Isak and even a cameo from Juventus attacker, Dejan Kusulevski to lead the side through to the last 16 of the competition. Crystal Palace could have been in the market for him until Patrick Vieria joined them, and Andersson could prove to be a viable option who would bring a similar presence and help to evolve the side by moving up in the Premier league table.

Where could he go?: mid-table Premier League

Wales have been one of the surprises of the tournament so far, finishing second to progress through to the last 16 in convincing style. Rob Page has had to manage the side as a caretaker and has exceeded expectations during his time in the role.

Turkey threatened to impress before the tournament and were many people’s dark horses going into Euro 2020. However, Page’s men managed to beat them 2-0 and drew 1-1 with Switzerland who are currently 13th in the world rankings. Wales did, however, crash out in stunning fashion to Denmark 4-0.

The Welsh caretaker manager has experience in managing football league teams, however, he has never really settled into a job. If Wales offer him the job full time, he'll perhaps take this one, but we could see him in the Championship soon after if not.

Where could he go?: Championship

Although they finished bottom of their group, Hungary have been one of the most impressive stories in the Euros so far because after being involved in the 'group of death', many expected the Hungarians to be trampled in the group stage.

However, this was far from the truth as Marco Rossi was so close to getting it correct tactically and progressing through to the last 16. Hungary led against France and Germany, who both struggled for large periods to break down Rossi’s men.

Hungary lost 3-0 to Portugal in their first group game, however, like a lot of results in football, this result does not paint the full picture of what happened in the game. Portugal struggled for nearly 80 minutes to score a goal until Raphael Guerreiro’s deflected effort wrong-footed the goalkeeper and Cristiano Ronaldo compounded their misery with a late brace. Rossi has undoubtedly made a name for himself at the tournament and may force various clubs to look at him during their process of hiring another manager.
