Denmark scraped through Group C in Germany with three draws, before losin꧙g 2-0 to hosts Germany in a round-of-16 tie featuring several controversialღ VAR interventions.

Hjulmand took the reins in 2020 after Age Hareide's departure, with his first tournament his most suc🦩cessful as Denmark reached the Euro 2020 semi-finals, losing to England in ext🔯ra time.

"It has been an incredible honour and privilege to be allowed to coach our national team for four years," Hjulmand said in a statement released on Friday.&nbไsp;

"I have given everything I had to 🌟achieꦐve success and to get the people to rally around the team. 

"Representing your country is the absolute greatest thing I ca♔n imagine, and I will look back on a fantastic time with great support for our dream. 

"When I look two years ahead to the World Cupꦰ, I can feel that it will be best for the team that there is a new face and new ideas who can write a new big chapter for this fantastic team, and therefore it is best that someone else leads the team forward. 

"It's not about me. It's about what's best for the🌃 teaওm."
