PSG Handball Welcomes New Coaching Duo
Jacob Holm has opted to continue his journey with the Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) handball team following his discussions with the recently appointed head coach, Stefan Madsen. Initially contemplating a move away from the club due to limited game time, Holm has found renewed motivation to stay.
New Coaching Leadership
The addition of Madsen, along with assistant coach Henrik Møllgaard, has provided Holm with optimism regarding his potential role in the team. "After talking with Stefan, I have decided to stay. His belief in me was crucial to my decision," Holm remarked.
Aiming for National Team Growth
Holm's drive to gain more playing time is also linked to his aspirations with the national team. The 25-year-old recognizes that consistent practice is essential for making meaningful contributions to Denmark’s success. He recently had an opportunity to fill in for an injured teammate, yet understands that he must play regularly to stay competitive.
Preparation for Upcoming Matches
As the national team prepares for matches against Sweden and Norway, Holm values the experience gained from playing alongside veterans like Møllgaard, who is transitioning into a coaching role. Holm is confident in their established relationship, which he believes will facilitate a smooth collaboration within the team.
Team Dynamics and Future Prospects
The PSG roster also includes goalkeepers Jannick Green and Mikkel Løvkvist, strengthening the Danish influence on the squad. The team's goal is to enhance their recent performances in European competitions and progress in the Champions League to ultimately contend for the title.
The Road Ahead
Reflecting on their recent standings, Holm mentions that PSG is close to breaking into the European top four. With determination and support from their new coaches, he feels the team can overcome previous obstacles and aim for podium finishes in upcoming tournaments.
