Motherwell receive official approach for Jens Berthel Askou as update offered on Celtic man
The Ligue 1 club want a coach who can develop young players and improve results after Carles Martínez Novell’s departure.
- Toulouse made an official approach to Motherwell Manager Jens Berthel Askou earlier this week, with the 43-year-old Danish coach identified as the French club's top candidate for their head coach vacancy.
- Leading the Steelmen to a fourth-place finish in the SPFL Premiership, Askou secured European football with a possession-based style that earned widespread praise and attracted attention across Europe, including links to Celtic.
- Toulouse Sports Director Viktor Bezhani revealed the club holds a shortlist of French and international candidates, seeking a manager who "must be very dynamic, very positive, aware of the expectations of fans waiting for goals."
- Motherwell sources indicate no compensation agreement has been reached between the clubs; should Askou depart, head of recruitment Nick Daws will source a replacement using the club's data-based recruitment approach.
- Previously coaching in the Faroes with HB Torshavn and serving as number two at Sparta Prague and Copenhagen, Askou remains Toulouse's primary target, with the French outfit expecting to announce their new appointment soon.
