"It was not easy to make this decision. I have really enjoyed my time at CSM Bucuresti - working with a fantastic team, a dedicated staff and incredibly passionate fans. Together we have had a really good season, and I am proud of what we have achieved together."
"But personal circumstances and the unexpected opportunity to take on a new role in the women's national team in my home country have made me reflect deeply on what is best for me and for the club in the future."
"A big club like CSM Bucuresti deserves this honesty, and therefore I believe that my withdrawal from the project is the right decision", says Helle Thomsen in a press release.
54-year-old Helle Thomsen makes her debut as Danish national coach on 20 September. The sports director of the Danish national team, Morten Henriksen, hopes that Helle Thomsen will now join the national team full-time.
"Now Helle and I are getting together within a very short time and hopefully we will be able to make a good agreement with her where she can take over as full-time national coach right from the start", says Morten Henriksen to TV 2 Sport.
