Motherwell boss Jens Berthel Askou completes move to Toulouse
Motherwell boss Jens Berthel Askou has completed his move to Toulouse.
The Dane has departed Fir Park following one successful year in charge of the club.
Askou led the Fir Park side to a fourth place finish and guaranteed European football for next campaign.
He has also received plaudits for their style of football with five players being included in the PFA Scotland Team of the Year.
Celtic had also been credited with an interest in Askou.
He told the club's official website: "Grateful is the best word to describe how I feel about my time as a manager of Motherwell FC.
"This past year has been an amazing journey. The buy-in and support from players, staff, board members, volunteers and supporters have been invaluable for me to lead the development of the club. There have been so many special moments along the way, but the way the season ended with a hard-fought win at Easter Road, leaving the club in a position of chasing European football next season, couldn’t have been written better.
"Special opportunities come rare in football. And you don’t know when they present themselves. So sometimes you have to leave great things behind to create new ones no matter how hard it is.
"This year has not just been a year of joy, excitement, togetherness and success. It has also been a glimpse into the future. A glimpse of what this club is capable of when executing ambitions strategically and boldly.
"Now I will follow this future from outside. Excited and optimistic on behalf of everyone at Motherwell Football Club. Knowing that I played a small part. And with memories of something truly special.
"A huge thank you to everyone who I’ve met along the way.
"Mon the Well."
