Roy Hodgson's only time in Denmark was a short but immensely successful period for the acclaimed manager.
Aged 52, Hodgson had already triumphed in Scandanavia with Halmstad, Örebro and Malmö FF and held major roles at the helm of the Switzerland national team, Inter Milan and Blackburn Rovers amongst others. After a season with Grasshopper Club Zurich, the manager was shortlisted for the vacant England job, but had instead accepted an offer from Danish side F.C. Copenhagen.
At the time, Copenhagen were struggling to stamp their mark on the top-flight Superliga, which they had won just once.
