Crisis
Match28 Nov 2026
No end in sight to AC Horsens's wait for a win
8 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at AC Horsens has to find a result from somewhere.
Player ratings30 Nov 2026
A brace, and Adrian Justinussen takes the afternoon — 8.86
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Adrian Justinussen provided it, and the 8.86 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.
The dugout30 Nov 2026
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” AC Horsens may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.
Player ratings30 Nov 2026
Successful dribbles: 24. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
Match28 Nov 2026
Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 6 goals between AC Horsens and Lyngby, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.
Match28 Nov 2026
2‑4 to Lyngby, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.
Squad30 Nov 2026
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at AC Horsens this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Squad30 Nov 2026
Patrick Olsen falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
The dugout30 Nov 2026
The view from the dugout
“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 2‑4 defeat, delivered by Emil Maehle to a room that had heard them before.

Uneasy
The dugout16 Nov 2026
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” AC Horsens may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.
Squad16 Nov 2026
Patrick Olsen and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.
Squad16 Nov 2026
A row about effort at AC Horsens
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Andreas Bruus was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
The dugout16 Nov 2026
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
The dugout16 Nov 2026
Seniko Doua has become a man the manager trusts
Nobody at AC Horsens will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.
Market16 Nov 2026
No place for Alagie Saine in the plan
“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Alagie Saine has his answer from AC Horsens; what he does with it is the next window’s story.
Looking ahead16 Nov 2026
Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Kristian Kirkegaard’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and AC Horsens needing him to play as if none of it matters.
The dugout16 Nov 2026
Julius Madsen knocks on the manager's door
“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at AC Horsens, and both men came out saying it was fine.
Market16 Nov 2026
Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Andreas Bruus’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Crisis
Match28 Oct 2026
AGF go through and AC Horsens go home, 0‑2 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.
Match31 Oct 2026
Chastening afternoon for AC Horsens
A 0‑3 beating by Hobro was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.
Squad2 Nov 2026
Omar Jarju breaks a bone — 27 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 27 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.
Match31 Oct 2026
No end in sight to AC Horsens's wait for a win
5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at AC Horsens has to find a result from somewhere.
Match31 Oct 2026
5 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.
The dugout2 Nov 2026
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
Squad2 Nov 2026
A row about effort at AC Horsens
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Patrick Olsen was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
Squad2 Nov 2026
Christian Vestergaard and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.
Player ratings2 Nov 2026
Successful dribbles: 17. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Steady
Squad28 Sep 2026
52 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. AC Horsens lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.
Squad28 Sep 2026
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 44 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.
Match28 Sep 2026
AC Horsens are in among the leaders
Position 3 and 13 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.
Squad28 Sep 2026
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at AC Horsens this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
The terraces28 Sep 2026
The crowd has taken to Fallou Sene
At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.
Match26 Sep 2026
A 2‑0 win over B.93, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.
Looking ahead28 Sep 2026
Top-of-the-table clash for AC Horsens
Aalborg next, and the two sides the division is watching meet each other. Whoever wins will be told nothing is decided in the same breath as being congratulated.
Squad28 Sep 2026
Words at AC Horsens training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Patrick Olsen 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.
Player ratings28 Sep 2026
7.85, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. AC Horsens had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

Upbeat
Squad17 Aug 2026
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason AC Horsens will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.
Market17 Aug 2026
The offer from AGF for Sebastian Hausner was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.
Boardroom17 Aug 2026
The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $650.8K — a club that wants Geovanni Vianney enough to be asked twice.
Market17 Aug 2026
The deal that would have taken Christ Tapé to OB has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to AC Horsens with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.
Transfer targets17 Aug 2026
Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at SuperSport United is saying, and nobody at AC Horsens is enjoying the guessing.
Transfer targets17 Aug 2026
FC Copenhagen wanted more than $610.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.
Transfer targets17 Aug 2026
The offer went to FC Fredericia this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.
Player ratings17 Aug 2026
Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
