Kasper Søndergaard has transitioned from his role as an assistant coach in Skjern to become the head coach of Sønderjyske Herrehåndbold. While describing the professional move as a decision made with “zero percent bad conscience,” Søndergaard noted the personal impact on his family, calling the relocation a “terribly selfish decision” due to the disruption to his children’s routines.

His early tenure has included a cup victory over HC Midtjylland and a scheduled league match against the Danish champions, Aalborg Håndbold.
