Awarding the best female coach of the 2018/19 season is part of the WHB’s ongoing ‘women’s handball role models’ campaign which was launched last year.

The campaign aims to raise the image and popularity of women’s handball, empower and promote female leadership and inspire young players for top level handball as well as prepare them for the post-career era.
