Brentford manager Thomas Frank came in second and silkeborg manager Kent Nielsen came in third.

Coach Henriksen "I'm very grateful to be named coach of the year. The past 20 years have been a difficult but enjoyable journey. Many of those who have been on this journey ultimately have great interests," he said, giving credit to his colleagues.




"The big goal of my life is to win the game in some way and to provide a great experience to the people around me. I want to go out and enjoy it now."
