Lyngholm's tenure as national coach was brief. He was seen as the natural successor to Ulrik Wilbek og Jan Pytlick. However, the results at his only major tournament, the 2006 European Women's Handball Championship were not satisfactory, with Denmark finishing 11th, which is the worst result for the Danish national team ever. He stepped down from the job a month after the tournament.^[2] He was replaced by Jan Pytlick, who returned to the position following Lyngholm's departure.^[3]
