Playing career

As a youth player, Thomasberg played for hometown club Haverslev IF as well as Aars IK, [1] before joining AaB in 1991. He made his debut for the first team only in 1994, after having played for the reserves in the fourth-tier Denmark Series for a number of seasons. [2] Thomasberg played for AaB until 1999, after which he moved to FC Midtjylland. He won the Danish Superliga championship as a player with AaB in both the 1994–95 and 1998–99 seasons. [3] In 1990, he also gained four caps for the Denmark under-16 team. [4]

Managerial career

In 2004, Thomasberg announced his retirement and became assistant coach to Erik Rasmussen at FC Midtjylland. He later became Rasmussen's successor as the head coach. He remained in that position for a year before being dismissed on 11 August 2009 and replaced by Allan Kuhn after to a poor start to the season. [5]

Later that year, it was confirmed that Thomasberg would take over as head coach of FC Hjørring from 1 January 2010. [6] He held that position for half a year, during which he managed to lead the club to promotion the second-tier 1st Division. Thomasberg then became the head coach of FC Fredericia, who, however, discontinued their collaboration with Thomasberg on 8 April 2013. [7]

After being an assistant at Randers FC in the period 2013–16, [8] Thomasberg was presented as the new head coach for Hobro IK in the 1st Division on 5 January 2017 on a contract running until the summer of 2018. [9]

Thomasberg since took over as head coach of Randers FC. He was originally supposed to have stepped into the role on 1 October 2018, [10] but Randers and Hobro reached an agreement that enabled Thomasberg to take over with immediate effect in his new club as of 16 June 2018. [11]

On 23 March 2023, Thomasberg was named the new head coach of FC Midtjylland, signing a contract through the summer of 2023. [12] After two-and-a-half seasons, he was sacked by the club on 29 August 2025, the day after the club qualified for the 2025–26 UEFA Europa League. He was allowed to coach his final match for the club later on 31 August against Brøndby. [13]
