Bröndby is looking for a new sports director.
According to Sportbladet’s information, the former Bröndby player and current sporting director in BK Häcken, Martin Ericsson, is up for the role.
Bröndby is looking for a new sporting director after Carsten V. Jensen was fired from the club. The fact that Jensen was fired hit football Denmark like a bomb at the beginning of October.
Since then, Bröndby has been looking for a replacement and according to several sources to Sportbladet, Martin Ericsson, sporting director at BK Häcken, is an alternative that Bröndby is considering taking on. His name has been discussed internally and he is one of the candidates to replace Jensen.
Played in Bröndby 2006–2009
BK Häcken should also be aware that there is interest in Ericsson both from Bröndby and a couple of other clubs abroad, so they have already started to probe the terrain in case Ericsson leaves.
An alternative that Häcken discussed at the time is for Erik Friberg to step in as interim sports director. Friberg has the title of scouting manager at the club right now. But they have also discussed a couple of other options if it were to happen that the club has to go on the hunt for a sporting director.
Martin Ericsson played in Bröndby between 2006 and 2009 and scored 83 games and 19 goals for the club. It was before the 2021 season that Martin Ericsson took over the role of sporting director from Sonny Karlsson. He has taken part in winning SM gold with the club, won a cup title and led the club to the European Games.

By the Comedy Collective of Jimmy Carr, Rowan Atkinson, Ricky Gervais, and Lee Evans
Alright, folks, gather around! We have breaking news that’s hotter than a football left in a sauna! Brøndby is on the hunt for a new sports director following the firing of Carsten V. Jensen, and it seems they have their eyes on none other than Martin Ericsson, the current head honcho over at BK Häcken! Ah yes, nothing says ‘job security’ like being on the radar of multiple clubs. It’s like being that last slice of pizza at a party—everyone wants a piece, but no one wants to admit it!
Who Is Martin Ericsson?
Now, Martin Ericsson isn’t just any random bloke off the street; he’s a man with a history at Brøndby! Having played there from 2006 to 2009, he’s got the kind of stats that would make most footballers blush—83 games and 19 goals! For reference, that’s about as many goals as I’ve had dates this year… and I’m not talking about those Tinder disasters!
But here’s the kicker: since taking over as sporting director in 2021, Ericsson has led BK Häcken to trophy-laden glory, including SM gold! So, it’s no wonder Brøndby is thinking, “Why not grab a guy who knows how to fill the cabinet with shiny things?” It’s like going to a car dealership and asking for a Ferrari, only to be offered a rusty bicycle with good intentions instead!
What’s Next for BK Häcken?
Now, BK Häcken has to keep its wits about them. Word is, while Brøndby is eyeing Ericsson, a few foreign clubs are also interested. I mean, who wouldn’t want a sports director who’s steered teams toward European glory? It’s like having the ultimate GPS for football success! “Recalculating… in 400 meters, turn left for European qualification!”
In the event that Ericsson decides to swap his Häcken colors for Brøndby blue, BK Häcken has already started probing the waters for potential replacements. I can already see Erik Friberg, the scouting manager, nervously practicing his ‘interim sports director’ face in the mirror. “Just smile and pretend you know what you’re doing!”
The Job Market is Tense!
It’s fascinating how quickly the tides can turn in the footballing world. One minute you’re sipping your coffee and strategizing for the next match, and the next, you’re being asked if you’d consider moving to a potential new home base! It’s kind of like breaking up with someone over text—that gut-wrenching feeling of uncertainty!
Final Thoughts
So, what’s the takeaway here? The football world is a relentless place for directors, and Martin Ericsson finds himself in a prime position. Will he stay loyal to BK Häcken, the club that’s given him success, or chase the excitement of being back at Brøndby? It’s like deciding between an old, comfy pair of slippers or a flashy new pair of trainers that may give you blisters. Either way, it’s bound to be an entertaining saga! Stay tuned for more updates, because in football, nothing is ever truly set in stone… or should I say, set in grass!
That should do it! Now, you’ve got a cheeky, observational take on the article that carries the spirit of some of the best comedic minds. Enjoy!
