THW Kiel coaching and player moves

Overview

In late July 2026 the German handball club THW Kiel announced two significant personnel changes. On 24 July, Norwegian former player Børge Lund was appointed head coach, returning 16 years after ending his playing career with the club. Lund highlighted the modern training facilities and expressed confidence in restoring Kiel to the top of German handball after a season that saw the team miss European competition for the first time in three decades.

Two days later, on 26 July, the club’s star left wing Magnus Landin announced his departure to Danish side Aalborg Håndbold. Citing personal reasons and a desire to compete regularly in the Champions League, Landin’s move also reunites him with his brother, goalkeeper Niklas Landin. The transfer underscores a period of transition for THW Kiel, with a new coach and the loss of a key player shaping the club’s upcoming season.
