When looking for a coach in 1979, the people in charge at TV Langen turned to Hallgrimson and asked him for help in finding a coach from the United States. Ultimately, Hallgrimson himself took the position in Langen and from the 1979/80 season held the position of head coach for the second division men's team in Hesse. In a promotion tournament in June 1981, he led Langen to the basketball league . After the Bundesliga season 1981/82, in which he missed staying in class, he ended his coaching activity in Langen, as this was no longer compatible with his full-time obligations at a company in Langen.
