FC Copenhagen parts ways with coach Nilsson

Danish champion FC Copenhagen says it has parted ways with Swedish coach Roland Nilsson halfway through his first season with the club.

The club says both sides have agreed that ''the cooperation has not proved satisfactory,'' and that sporting director Carsten V. Jensen will take over the coaching job.

Nilsson is a former Sweden international who signed a three-year contract with Copenhagen in May after leading Malmo FF to the Swedish league title.

Copenhagen tops the Danish league standings after 18 rounds, but failed to reach the Champions League this year and was eliminated from the Europa League group stage.
