Stefan Madsen, future coach of Paris Saint-Germain Handball

Paris Saint-Germain Handball is pleased to announce the signing of Stefan Madsen as head coach, as of 1 July 2025. Henrik Møllgaard, a former player of the Club (2015 -2018), will take on the role of assistant coach. The Danish duo have signed a two-season contract.

The next coach of Paris Saint-Germain Handball, Stefan Madsen, has a wealth of experience at club level. In charge of Aalborg Handball from 2018 to 2024, he led his team to two Champions League finals (2021, 2024), while winning four Danish league titles and two Danish Cups.

Currently coach of Egyptian side Al Ahly, the 48-year-old won the African Champions League last October, after winning the bronze medal in the World Club Championship against FC Barcelona.

In Paris, Stefan Madsen will be joined by Henrik Møllgaard as assistant coach. The Danish full-back, who wore the Rouge et Bleu jersey from 2015 to 2018, is playing his final season as a player with Aalborg and will join his former coach on the bench at the capital club.

A great defensive specialist, Henrik Møllgaard amassed one of the most impressive records in the history of handball, including two Olympic gold medals (2016, 2024) and three World Championship titles (2019, 2021, 2023).

With their shared history and complementary skills, the duo will be a pillar of this new cycle initiated by the Club. Their mission will be to lead Paris Saint-Germain Handball to new successes and to consolidate the team's performances at the highest European level over the years to come.

"We are delighted to welcome Stefan. His vision and leadership will be major assets in opening up this new chapter and achieving the Club's ambitious goals. He will complement Henrik Møllgaard, who knows our environment and values inside out. Their expertise will enable us to continue developing our team and our quest for titles."
Thierry Omeyer, General Manager of Paris Saint-Germain Handball

"I am extremely honoured to be joining Paris Saint-Germain Handball. It's a huge responsibility, but also a real challenge that I accept with enthusiasm. I'm looking forward to working with the players and the entire staff, bringing my tactical approach and writing the next chapter in the Club's history. I'm convinced that we can achieve the greatest goals together."
Stefan Madsen, future coach of Paris Saint-Germain Handball

"Coming back to Paris Saint-Germain, where I experienced so many great moments, is a unique opportunity. As a former player, I'm well aware of the Club's expectations and demands. I'm really looking forward to working alongside Stefan, whom I've worked with for many years, to help the team perform well and offer all our supporters a host of trophies."
