He also played for the USSR and Russia, striking football gold at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. • Joined Schalke in 1989, scoring the goal that earned them promotion to the Bundesliga in 1990/91, and later helped Freiburg finish third in the 1994/95 competition. • Coached Krylya Sovetov before assisting Guus Hiddink and then Dick Advocaat during their respective terms as Russia coach. Briefly Dinamo's sporting director, he returned to head-coaching by leading Torpedo Moskva to promotion in 2014. • Having lifted the Kazakh Super Cup with Kairaty in 2016, he replaced Talgat Baysufinov as Kazakhstan coach in February 2017 when his predecessor became the national association's technical director.

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 Kazakhstan - Denmark Saturday 10 June 2017 - 18.00CET (22.00 local time) Match press kit Almaty Ortalyk Stadion, Almaty Match officials Referee Vladislav Bezborodov (RUS) Assistant referees Valeri Danchenko (RUS) , Maksim Gavrilin (RUS) Fourth official Kirill Levnikov (RUS) FIFA Match Commissioner Ganna Bordiugova (UKR) Referee observer Emil Bozinovski (MKD) Referee Name Date of birth UEFA matches Vladislav Bezborodov 15/01/1973 3 55 FIFA Wold Cup matches involving teams from the two countries involved in this match No such matches refereed Other matches involving teams from either of the two countries involved in this match Stage Date Competition Home Away Result Venue reached 30/07/2009 UEL 3QR FK Rabotnicki Odense BK 3-4 Skopje 29/08/2013 UEL PO AS Saint-Étienne Esbjerg fB 0-1 Saint-Etienne 31/07/2014 UEL 3QR Club Brugge KV Brøndby IF 3-0 Bruges 18/09/2014 UEL GS FCSB Aalborg BK 6-0 Bucharest 11/12/2014 UEL GS FC København Torino FC 1-5 Copenhagen 6 Kazakhstan - Denmark Saturday 10 June 2017 - 18.00CET (22.00 local time) Match press kit Almaty Ortalyk Stadion, Almaty 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.
