Mogens Krogh (Danish pronunciation:[ˈmɔwnsˈkʰʁɔːw]; born 31 October 1963) is a Danish former professionalfootball player who was most recently manager ofNæstved BK. In his playing career, Krogh was the first choicegoalkeeper ofIkast fS between 1981 and 1991 and of Brøndby from 1991 to his retirement in December 2002, playing 464 first team matches for the latter. Krogh also played 10 matches for theDenmark national football team. He has won both theUEFA European Championship and theFIFA Confederations Cup.
Born inHjørring, Denmark, Krogh started his career at small clubs Horne KFUM and Tårs Ugilt, before playing in the topflightDanish 1st Division forIkast fS. In 1991, the Danish champions from the two years prior, Brøndby, sold their first choice keeperPeter Schmeichel, and Krogh was bought as a replacement. Brøndby did not initially find the success they sought, though Krogh would prove his worth in the domestic league. In the 1995–96 Danish Superliga (formerly known as 1st Division) season, Brøndby was trailingAGF in the league. In the direct match-up of the two teams late in the season, Brøndby was losing 2–3 when Krogh went into the attack at a corner kick, and headed the ball in goal for the 3–3 result that spurred Brøndby on to make a comeback and win the season title. He won four Danish league titles during his career.
On the international scene, Krogh played 66 matches for Brøndby IF, including highlights like the game againstCD Tenerife in the 1997UEFA Cup, when Krogh saved apenalty kick in a game Brøndby won 1–0. One of his best games was the1998–99 UEFA Champions League match againstBayern Munich which Brøndby won 2–1, and Krogh was subsequently named 1999 Brøndby IFPlayer of the Year.
For the Danish national team, Krogh stood in the shadow of clear first choice keeper Peter Schmeichel, but Krogh was a stable understudy who was selected in the Danish squads for the1992 European Championship (Euro 1992) andEuro 1996, as well as the1998 FIFA World Cup without playing a single match. He was one in a trio, also countingLars Høgh andPeter Kjær, who took turns in being first reserve for Schmeichel. Krogh would, however, shine in theKing Fahd Cup 1995, when he came on as a substitute and saved two penalty kicks fromMarcelino Bernal andLuis García Postigo in the semi-final againstMexico before playing the 2–0 win in the final againstArgentina. This tournament is today named theFIFA Confederations Cup.
Following his retirement as a player in 2002, Krogh got a job in thepublic relations department of Brøndby IF. After three years in the job, Krogh decided in December 2005 to quit his job and leave the club, citing he wanted new challenges and only wanted to work in a football club if he had direct contact with the sporting aspect.[2] One month later it was revealed that Krogh was hired for Brøndby as a coach for the young goalkeepers in the club,[3] working under head talent scoutKim Vilfort, one of only three people to have played more matches for Brøndby than Krogh.
In January 2008 Krogh became employed in the sponsorship department ofHvidovre IF and manager of the club's reserve team.[4] In 2009, he became new director of Hvidovre IF.[5] He left the club at the end of 2010.[6]
In 2011 Krogh became new sponsor consultant atDanish 2nd Divisions clubNordvest FC.[7] In the summer of 2013 he replacedThomas Maale as manager of the club.[8]
Following a successful first season as manager Krogh was hired as manager ofNæstved BK in the summer of 2014.[9] He led the club to promotion to theDanish 1st Division in his first season and managed to avoid relegation in his second. In his third season as manager of the club, Næstved was struggling and Krogh was relieved of his duties in March 2017.
