Career

Club player

Striker Povlsen started his career at Aarhus GF in 1983 . In 1985 he was voted "Youth Player of the Year in Denmark". The former Bundesliga player from Borussia Mönchengladbach , Henning Jensen , referred him to Real Madrid . Povlsen gained match practice in Real's second team, Castilla CF , where he trained with the professionals. After a year he left Real Madrid and went to 1. FC Cologne on the recommendation of Hannes Löhr . With the then coach Christoph Daum he finished third and second in the Bundesliga in his first two years with the team.

Although he wanted to fulfill his contract in Cologne, 1. FC sold him to PSV Eindhoven . In Eindhoven he could not prevail against Romario . After a year he left PSV and moved to Borussia Dortmund . In Dortmund, Povlsen experienced the most successful period of his career: While in his first year under Horst Köppel, the development was not so positive, under his successor Ottmar Hitzfeld, BVB reached the 1993 UEFA Cup final . At the end of his career in 1995 he won the German championship.

National team

With the Danish national team , he was European champion at the 1992 European Football Championship in Sweden . Povlsen played in all five games in the tournament and scored a goal in the semifinals on penalties against the Netherlands against Dutch goalkeeper Hans van Breukelen , his former team-mate at PSV Eindhoven . He was a permanent part of the Danish national football team from his debut in 1987 until his retirement. He scored 21 goals in 62 international matches and played at the European Championships in 1988 and 1992.

End of career

In April 1993 he suffered his first cruciate ligament tear in a BVB game against 1. FC Köln , which was followed by a comeback in October of the same year in the game against SG Wattenscheid 09 . In October 1994 he tore a cruciate ligament in his other knee in the DFB Cup match against 1. FC Kaiserslautern , after which he made a brief appearance against Eintracht Frankfurt in the spring of 1995 , but then became disabled. At the end of the 1994/95 season he ended his career due to injury.

Coaching career

After his departure, Flemming Povlsen became sports director at the Danish first division club Aarhus Fremad in December 2001 . When the club underwent an austerity program in November 2002, Povlsen offered to resign, which the club accepted. He then played in a lower league in Brabrand football and was later signed as the coach of Aarhus GF . In March 2005 he became part of the coaching staff at the Danish Superliga club AC Horsens . He joined Randers FC as an assistant coach in July 2009 , but resigned on October 6, 2009 when manager John Jensen was fired. He teaches teenage children in a football school called Hessel Gods Fodboldkostskole in Jutland, which works with Brøndby IF . Povlsen holds the UEFA A coaching license.

Private

Povlsen worked as an expert on Danish television for international matches of the Danish national team, currently he is the expert of a Danish television broadcaster for matches of the Danish Super League .

After winning the European Championship, Povlsen changed his private door sign from "Povlsen" to "European Champion" for a few years.

During his time at Borussia Dortmund he lived in downtown Dortmund and was “always among the people, even when things went bad.” His affinity for the German mentality was also a reason for his departure from PSV Eindhoven and for his return to the Bundesliga. He speaks German and sees himself as a kind of ambassador for Germany in Denmark.
