Preben Lundbye promoted to manager for Silkeborg
John Faxe Jensen and Ove Christensen both said no to the job.
Lundbye has been in charge of the youth academy for some time, and knows most of the young players on the SIF team. He has been around the club for years and would have very detailed knowledge on the squad.
The 56-year old manager's only experience is as assisting manager, and it will be interesting to follow how he'll do with the team needing to be saved from relegation.
Former Schalke-forward and chief of sport (?) in Silkeborg has said that he is looking very much forward to see what Lundbye can do with the team and expects an instant reaction from the team.
I'll give this trainer a rating of 3, as he has good knowledge about the young players, and might give them a shot. On the other hand he has no experience as manager and might be biased towards the younger players. We'll see when the season starts.
