He moved back to Denmark, and joined Vejle Boldklub in January 2006 on a three-year contract.[4] He was fired by the club in April 2007,[5] and joined Næstved BK in July 2007.[1]
In June 2010 he was named new manager of FC Hjørring. He left the club in April 2011 after being named as new coach of the Tanzania national under-21 team.[6] In May 2012 he was promoted to manager of the Tanzania national football team replacing fellow Dane Jan Børge Poulsen.[7]
