Mikkel Kirkeskov Aarhus Fremad Head of Scouting, Digi Mart USA News: Danish defender Mikkel Kirkeskov has returned to Denmark. In an interview with Tipsbladet, the Danish back said he wanted to come home after ten years abroad.
Kirkeskov most recently played for the German club Preussen Münster, where his contract expired in the summer. In the interview with Tipsbladet, he said he dreamed of returning to AGF, where he had his major breakthrough.
That dream, however, appears to have faded.
The 35-year-old has been presented as the new Head of Scouting at Aarhus Fremad, and he therefore appears to have ended his active football career. According to the club’s website, he brings a great deal of experience from the football world and has a strong eye for the game and for players.
“Mikkel has a long career as a professional footballer behind him,” the club said. “He will play a central role in our scouting, where he will especially watch a lot of football and find and assess interesting players.”
Tipsbladet reached out to Kirkeskov to ask whether this marks the end of his active career, but at the time of writing he had not responded.
Kirkeskov played 101 matches in the AGF shirt. He has since also played for Piast Gliwice, Aalesund, Holstein Kiel, OB, Zagłębie Lubin and Preussen Münster.
