FC Köln Coaching career: 1. FC Köln (twice), VfB Stuttgart, Beşiktaş JK (twice), Bayer 04 Leverkusen, FK Austria Wien, Fenerbahçe SK (twice), Eintracht Frankfurt, Club Brugge KV, Bursaspor, Romania • Born in the former East Germany but raised in the West, Daum's playing career was low key before a move into coaching in the amateur department at Köln. • After four years with Köln's professional side between 1986 and 1990, moved to Stuttgart, leading the club to a Bundesliga title in 1992 but being dismissed the following year. He re-emerged in Turkey, winning the 1994/95 Süper Lig title with Beşiktaş. • Hired by Leverkusen in 1996, Daum's side finished as Bundesliga runners-up in three of his four seasons in charge. Tipped to become Germany coach, revelations concerning his private life instead prompted his departure from the BayArena in 2000. • A second spell at Beşiktaş preceded a third domestic title, this time with Austria Wien in 2003. Two more crowns followed in his first two seasons at Fenerbahçe, though Daum resigned after his third campaign in 2006. • Returned to Germany to coach Köln, guiding them to promotion to the Bundesliga, but left the club again when he was appointed Fenerbahçe coach for the second time in the summer of 2009. Short spells with Eintracht Frankfurt, Club Brugge and Bursaspor followed before, after a two-year break from coaching, Daum took charge of Romania in July 2016. Åge Hareide Date of birth: 23 September 1953 Nationality: Norwegian Playing career: IL Hødd, Molde FK, Manchester City FC, Norwich City FC, Molde FK, Norway Coaching career: Molde FK, Helsinborgs IF (twice), Brøndby IF, Rosenborg BK, Norway, Örgryte IS, Viking FK, Malmö FF • Having trained as a tax accountant before turning professional, Hareide was a physical defender who represented his country 50 times between 1976 and 1986. His club career took him from Molde to Manchester City and then Norwich in the English top flight. • Hareide made the transition to coaching before hanging up his boots. After returning from England he acted as player-coach for Molde during two seasons. From 1987 he focused solely on coaching and a second spell as Molde boss brought his first silverware – the 1994 Norwegian Cup. His first trophy in Sweden was also the cup, with Helsingborg in 1998. In 2003, Hareide added one more Norwegian Cup as coach of Rosenborg. • Hareide is the only coach to win league titles in Sweden (Helsingborg 1999, Malmö 2014), Denmark (Brøndby 2001/02) and Norway (Rosenborg 2003). • Coached Norway from January 2004 until December 2008. Under Hareide, Norway made it to the play-offs for the 2006 FIFA World Cup but lost 2-0 on aggregate to the Czech Republic. • Returned to Helsingborg in 2012 for a six-month spell and steered the side to the UEFA Champions League play- offs. In January 2014 he was appointed by Malmö, leading them to the Swedish title and into the UEFA Champions League group stage for the first time at the start of 2014/15. He repeated the feat when Malmö progressed via the play-offs in 2015/16, before being appointed Denmark coach in December 2015. 5 Romania - Denmark Sunday 26 March 2017 - 20.45CET (21.45 local time) Match press kit Cluj Arena, Cluj-Napoca Match officials Referee Martin Atkinson (ENG) Assistant referees Stephen Child (ENG) , Stuart Burt (ENG) Fourth official Anthony Taylor (ENG) FIFA Match Commissioner Georges Lüchinger (LIE) Referee observer Boško Jovanetić (SRB) Referee Name Date of birth UEFA matches Martin Atkinson 31/03/1971 8 88 Martin Atkinson Referee since: 1986 First division: 2004 FIFA badge: 2006 Tournaments: UEFA EURO 2016 Finals 2015 UEFA Europa League final FIFA Wold Cup matches involving teams from the two countries involved in this match Stage Date Competition Home Away Result Venue reached 09/09/2009 WC QR Romania Austria 1-1 Bucharest Other matches involving teams from either of the two countries involved in this match Stage Date Competition Home Away Result Venue reached 28/05/2006 U19 ELITE Ukraine Denmark 3-0 Donetsk 09/09/2009 WC QR Romania Austria 1-1 Bucharest 19/10/2010 UCL GS FC Bayern München CFR 1907 Cluj 3-2 Munich 24/11/2010 UCL GS FC Rubin FC København 1-0 Kazan 16/08/2011 UCL PO FC København FC Viktoria Plzeň 1-3 Copenhagen 05/11/2013 UCL GS FC København Galatasaray AŞ 1-0 Copenhagen 20/08/2014 UCL PO Aalborg BK APOEL FC 1-1 Aalborg 17/11/2015 EURO PO Denmark Sweden 2-2 Copenhagen 6 Romania - Denmark Sunday 26 March 2017 - 20.45CET (21.45 local time) Match press kit Cluj Arena, Cluj-Napoca Competition facts The Week of Football concept enables fans around the world to enjoy the very best action from the European Qualifiers – which will determine UEFA's representatives at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.

Previous meetings • The Matchday 3 encounter was Astana's first UEFA fixture against Dutch opposition. • AZ have made three previous visits to Kazakhstan and are yet to register a win (D1 L2), the most recent visit bringing a 2-0 defeat at Kairat Almaty that contributed to a 3-2 aggregate loss in last season's UEFA Europa League second qualifying round. Form guide Astana • Astana collected their fifth straight domestic title in 2018 while also playing no fewer than 16 European matches in that calendar year, the last six in the UEFA Europa League group stage, where they finished third in their section with eight points.
