Monique’s mission in Austria: Enthusiasm and a long-term plan

FEATURE: EHF EURO Cup double-header against Norway starting point for Monique Tijsterman as coach of EHF EURO co-hosts Austria

The way of finding a new job can be a bit crazy. Sometimes, it approaches you when you do not expect it. Monique Tijsterman was asked to support the Austrian Handball Federation in finding a new head coach for the women’s team, only for her to be given the role.

Tijsterman is on the bench for her first home match when Austria host Norway in the EHF EURO Cup 2024 for the Highlight Match on Sunday, four days after Austria lost the away game against the European champions 43:22 in Tijsterman's debut leading the team last Wednesday.
