Gaugisch signed until June 30, 2026 and will therefore also look following the German women’s team at the home World Cup in 2025. Gislason’s new contract is valid until February 28, 2027 and thus also includes the men’s home World Cup in January 2027. In Gislason’s case, the prerequisite for the running time is successful qualification for the Olympic Games. Otherwise the contract ends in 2024.

“I am very happy regarding the trust and the opportunity to be able to accompany our national team on its path to 2027,” said Gislason, who has looked following the DHB team since 2020. In January, the Icelander led the German team to fourth place at the home European Championships: “The team has enormous potential to make extreme progress in the next tournaments. In the coming days we will first of all put everything into a successful Olympic qualification tournament subordinate.”

In the four-way tournament from March 14th to 17th in Hanover, Germany will face Algeria, Croatia and Austria. Two of the four teams, all of which compete once morest each other, qualify for the Olympics. “Now the facts have been clarified to the outside world and everyone can concentrate on the upcoming Olympic qualifications,” said DHB sports director Axel Kromer.
