Vancouver Whitecaps name Denmark’s Jesper Sorensen as new head coach
VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Whitecaps have hired Denmark’s Jesper Sorensen as head coach ahead of the Major League Soccer season.
The 51-year-old Sorensen comes to Vancouver from Brondby IF in the Danish Superliga where he spent two seasons as head coach following two and a half as an assistant.
He also spent more than a year as head coach of Denmark’s under-21 national squad.
Whitecaps sporting director Axel Schuster says in a release that Sorensen’s teams are “well balanced with offensive creativity and defensive organization.”
