Toulouse has officially announced the appointment of Jens Berthel Askou as their new head coach. The 43-year-old Dane replaces Spaniard Carles Martinez, who announced his departure at the end of April.
Before taking the helm at the French side, Askou managed Motherwell. Under his leadership, the Scottish team earned 61 points in 47 matches, finishing fourth in their domestic league.
"I am incredibly happy to join Toulouse. The talent the club possesses, combined with its well-established structure, clear and consistent strategies, highly qualified specialists, and commitment to further development, convinced me to accept the invitation," Aaskou stated.
During the 2025/2026 season, Toulouse finished 10th in Ligue 1 with 44 points. The final match of the season against Nantes was abandoned due to disturbances caused by a pitch invasion by fans.
