Michael Schjønberg-Christensen (born January 19, 1967 in Esbjerg ) is a former Danish football player and current coach .

Career as a player

society

Schjønberg started playing football in his hometown Esbjerg. After moving from SGI Esbjerg to Esbjerg fB , he played four seasons in the 2nd division from 1987 to 1990 . He then moved to the German 2nd Bundesliga to Hannover 96 , with which he was able to win the DFB Cup in 1991/92 . In 1994 Schjønberg returned to his Danish homeland and signed with the first division club Odense BK . There he came seven more times in the 1993/94 season and qualified with the club for the 1994/95 UEFA Cup , in which Odense BK was only eliminated in the quarter-finals. After playing for Odense BK in August 1996 in the qualifying round for the 1996/97 UEFA Cup against Sliema Wanderers , he played from September 1996 for 1. FC Kaiserslautern in the German 2nd Bundesliga. With this he was promoted back to the Bundesliga in 1997 and became German champion a year later . Schjønberg's 1-0 winner on matchday one against FC Bayern Munich was his first goal in the Bundesliga.

Schjønberg had a spectacular appearance on the 33rd matchday in the 1999/2000 season in the game Kaiserslautern against SC Freiburg : After just 30 minutes, coach Otto Rehhagel had to replace the injured goalkeeper Georg Koch with Uwe Gospodarek . Already in the half-time break, however, Gospodarek also fell out due to an injury. In the dressing room he handed over his jersey to Schjønberg, who was now the goalkeeper who conceded Freiburg 2-1 through Lewan Kobiaschwili in the 59th minute , but otherwise played without a mistake. He crowned his performance with a saved penalty , shot by Aleksandre Iaschwili in the 84th minute.

In the 1998/99 season Schjønberg was seriously injured. After a collision with the goalkeeper of VfL Bochum , Thomas Ernst , he broke his shin and fibula. Because of this injury and acute knee problems, he ended his football career early in the 2000/01 season.

National team

Schjønberg made his first international match for Denmark's national team on January 8, 1995 in the group game of the King Fahd Cup against Saudi Arabia . In total, Schjønberg made 44 international matches and scored three goals. He took part in the European Championships in England in 1996 and in Belgium and the Netherlands in 2000 and in the 1998 World Cup in France . The last group game against the Czech Republic at the EM 2000 on June 21, 2000, which was lost 2-0, was Schjønberg's last international match.

Stations after the active career

After leaving, Schjønberg switched to the coaching business as an active footballer. After a season as a youth coach at 1. FC Kaiserslautern , he temporarily went to his home country and together with Allan Nielsen took over the coaching position at Herfølge BK . From November 2005 he worked as an assistant at the side of Peter Neururer at Hannover 96 . After his resignation at the end of August 2006, Schjønberg was responsible for a game in the DFB Cup against Dynamo Dresden for the first team. He then took over the second team from Hannover 96 in the league after Dieter Hecking had been signed as the successor to Peter Neururer.

In April 2007 Schjønberg returned to 1. FC Kaiserslautern as sports director. After poor performance by the second division team, he resigned in November 2007. The next stop took Schjønberg back to Denmark: At Slagelse B&I, which later changed its name to FC Vestsjælland , he was initially sports director from February 2008 and from April 2009 also coach. In the last games of the 2008/09 season, the team made it from the third-highest to the second-highest Danish league . At the end of the 2010/11 season, Schjønberg was released in Slagelse. In January 2013 he became assistant to coach Kjetil Rekdal , with whom he had worked at 1. FC Kaiserslautern, at the Norwegian first division club Vålerenga Oslo . In November 2014 Schjønberg was introduced as the new head coach of the Norwegian club Nest Sotra. For the 2016/17 season he went back to his home country and became a coach at FC Svendborg. As the association got into economic hardship, Svendborg ended the cooperation in December 2016. He then worked as a youth coach in Assens , Denmark , and in the summer of 2018 he took up the position of coach at Aarup Boldklub, also in Denmark.
