Copenhagen has appointed a former Rangers employee as their new technical director.
Nils Koppen, who previously held roles as head of recruitment and technical director at the Scottish club, joins the Danish side in this senior position after joining the club as its head of scouting and recruitment last October.
He left Rangers last year, following new ownership arriving at the club.
His new role sees him take a leading position at the Danish Superliga side, while also taking responsibility for plans for the summer transfer window before the club appoints a new sporting director.
As part of this shift, Andreas Hintze Rocks, the previous technical director, will become recruitment insights lead within the technical director structure.
Koppen took on the Rangers staff role after spending time in the scouting department at PSV Eindhoven.
Following a stint in Glasgow from December 2023, when he rose to the role of technical director before his exit last year, he then joined Copenhagen.
Shortly after, Dan Purdy replaced Koppen at Rangers, linking up with former Everton colleague Kevin Thelwell at Ibrox.
Discussing the appointment of Koppen, Jacob Lauesen, their CEO, said: "Nils will be responsible for everything related to transfers, and we are pleased that he is taking on this important responsibility so that we have a clear organisation for sporting operations in the coming period.
"This adjustment should be seen as part of the preliminary analysis of the club’s sporting structure, and Nils and I will work closely together in the coming period."
