There are no more secrets, everything is known. Dagur Sigurdsson, a 50-year-old Icelander, is the new coach of the Croatian national handball team! This news has been confirmed to us by high-ranking sources from the Croatian Handball Federation, which will officially introduce the new coach on Thursday. The official presentation is scheduled for Thursday at 11 a.m. when Sigurdsson will address the Croatian media in Zagreb. However, in the invitation sent to the media by the CHF, they did not specify that they would introduce Sigurdsson specifically, but only a "new Croatian coach" alongside whom the president of the Federation, Tomislav Grahovac, and his chief secretary, Damir Poljak, will be present. Nevertheless, Sigurdsson will indeed appear in the role of coach there.

Let's remind ourselves, he faces a tough task as he needs to lead Croatia to the Olympic Games in Paris. In mid-March, a qualifying tournament will be held in Hannover, Germany, where Croatia, along with Germany, Austria, and Algeria, will try to secure one of the first two places, which lead to the Olympics, as reported by Večernji.hr.
