The Danish Football Union made the announcement Monday, saying interim coach Morten Wieghorst,🧸 a former Denmark international, was on sick leave with "minor stress symptoms."

The 47-year-old Knudsen, a former set piece coach 🔜for the United States men's national team, joined Augsburg in January.

 Denmark director of football Peter Moller said it was a "special situation" and called the timing "unf𒊎ortunate."
