Borge Hedegaard has signed up for two seasons.


Slovograd, Republic of Mordvania - Mordvanian football club NK Slovograd has officially announced the signing of Oslanburgan manager Borge Hedegaard for the next two seasons.

It has been rumoured for weeks that manager Bozidar Adamic may leave the club after a disappointing season, although the signing of Hedegaard came as a relatively surprise as he was not the main name mentioned by Slovograd newspapers in the last week.

It will be the second adventure for Hedegaard, who managed FK Mazenskai for five seasons, from 1586 to 1591, in the Mordvanian Premier League. During his tenure in Mazenskai, Hedegaard won two league titles  -the first one in his first season in FK Mazenskai, which had never won the Mordvanian Premier League before, and a second one in the 1589-1590 season- and runner-up three times in the Republican Cup.

In the last two seasons, Hedegaard has been managing a Nylander football club.

Hedegaard replaces Mordvanian manager Bozidar Adamic, who failed to win a title for NK Slovograd in his two seasons as manager.

NK Slovograd is the most important and richest club in Mordvania, winning 12 Mordvanian Premier League titles since 1570. However, the club has experienced a lack of results in the last seasons.

NK Slovograd won the Mordvanian Premier League for last time in the 1595-1596, under manager Danilo Zitnik -who currently manages NK Slovograd main city rival, the Slovograd 1566-, and it has not won the Republican Cup since 1591.

Hedegaard will become the fourth NK Slovograd manager in the last five seasons. In the last four seasons, NK Slovograd finished fourth in the Mordvanian Premier League, failed to advance beyond the quarterfinals in the Republican Cup as well.

The news of Hedegaard signing has been received positively, although many have criticized Hodegaard's tactics, as his tenure as FK Mazensaki, although successful, was considered to play a too defensive and rough football at the time. There seen to be a division of opinions in Mazenskai, as FK Mazenskai and NK Slovograd have an intense rivalry.
