"Jens Nielsen was our preferred candidate. He has the expertise and skills we were looking for in our team," states Marc Eichmann, team manager of the SCL Tigers. Nielsen, who has several years of experience as head and assistant coach, most recently was an assistant coach in the SHL with Leksands IF.

Head coach Franzén and his new assistant coach Nielsen know each other from their time together with the Danish national team. As a matter of fact, the Swede and the Dane worked as assistants to Heinz Ehlers at the 2019 World Championship.
