FC Midtjylland run out of patience with Robert Schmeichel
The end came on a Tuesday, as these things usually do: a short meeting, a shorter statement, and Robert Schmeichel clearing his office by noon. Football’s cruellest ritual, performed to schedule.

Magnus Jensen damages knee ligaments — 101 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 101 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.
Boardroom8 May 2028
The FC Midtjylland board call everybody in
Nothing has been announced and everybody understands what it means. A board that summons the whole football department on a Tuesday morning is a board that has stopped believing the problem will fix itself.
Boardroom8 May 2028
Pierre-Emile Dalsgaard steps up at FC Midtjylland for now
“Somebody picks the team on Saturday. This week it is me, and that is as far as I have thought.” No promises were made in either direction, which is how these usually begin.

Tempers go at FC Midtjylland
Christos Zafeiris was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Words at FC Midtjylland training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Darío Osorio is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
Boardroom8 May 2028
FC Midtjylland agree a free transfer for Lorenzo Maasland
Nothing happens for months and then he simply arrives, at no cost, having signed a pre-contract while still turning out for somebody else. It is the least dramatic way to sign a footballer and frequently the shrewdest.
Loan watch8 May 2028
Kjell Wätjen wants to come home
“I did not go to Brondby to sit and watch. I want to come back to FC Midtjylland and fight for my place.” 15 appearances in 45 matches say the rest.
The dugout8 May 2028
Rasmus Kristensen is playing like a man with something to prove
The oldest phenomenon in the sport: a new voice in the dressing room and suddenly everybody is available for everything. Rasmus Kristensen is training as though the last team sheet never existed, because as far as he is concerned it does not.
