John Sinding
John Sinding (Danish pronunciation: [ˈtjʌn ˈse̝nte̝ŋ]; born 16 May 1941) is a Danish former football manager and player.
As a footballer, he appeared for Vordingborg IF and Glostrup IC in the lower-tier local divisions and for Skovshoved IF in the higher divisions. After retiring as a player, Sinding decided to continue as a coach and in a span of 25 years he was employed as head coach, youth coach, goalkeeping coach and manager of 10 different Danish football clubs. The culmination of his coaching career took place in the early 1980s, when he led Hvidovre IF to a Danish Cup win in the 1979–80 season – the club's first cup title. He subsequently helped secure the club's third Danish championship in the 1981 season.
Outside football, Sinding has been director and owner of the company W. Johansen ApS.
Sinding's playing career began in the youth department at Skovshoved IF. In his active playing career as a senior player, he represented Vordingborg IF, Glostrup IC and his childhood club Skovshoved IF in the 1960s. There, he appeared both in the lower tier local divisions for Glostrup and Vordingborg, as well as in the higher divisions for Skovshoved.
Sinding began his coaching career in Glostrup IC. In 1968, Sinding was hired as the new coach in the youth department of Brøndby IF, which was then a lower tier club. Under his management the club's U17 team were promoted to the highest division in 1969, where they ended up in fourth place in the table in their first season. Sinding remained in the position as youth coach at the club for a year and a half.
At the young age of 29, Sinding became head coach of Brøndby's senior team in 1970, which competed in the local divisions under the Zealand FA (SBU). He initially only planned to coach the team for one season, which thus became his first season as a senior coach. After the complete merger of the largest sports clubs in Brøndbyøster and Brøndbyvester in 1964 – which resulted in the formation of Brøndby IF – the board of the club from Vestegnen decided that the new football club should aim to compete at a higher level. The first team's final position in the league standings – 10th place in the Sjællandsserien (Zealand Series) – in the 1969 season had been deemed unsatisfactory, and the collaboration with the then head coach Ib Jensen was discontinued and a major overhaul of the first-team squad was made. With his new appointment, Sinding thus set the goal of assembling an almost completely new first team and lead the team to promotion from the Zealand Series, ensuring the club a place in Danmarksserien (Denmark Series) by 1971. The goal was finally fulfilled when Brøndby managed to win in the last matchday of the season which secured the Zealand Series title in the 1971 season which meant automatic promotion to the Denmark Series in 1972 with a squad consisting of players such as Per Bjerregaard, Tom Køhlert and Ebbe Skovdahl, who would all go on to become key figures in the club afterwards. This achievement marked the club's second promotion since its foundation where it had been incepted in the Serie 1, the sixth tier of the Danish football league system. In the following season, however, the club's board chose to appoint Mogens Johansen as new head coach and shortly afterwards, former professional player Finn Laudrup took over as player-coach for the first team.
After his first stint at Brøndby IF, Sinding continued as head coach of Ballerup IF in the period 1972–1974. There, he led the team from the Denmark Series to the third highest tier (3rd Division East under the former league structure) in 1974, which was the first time this occurred in the club's history. The team, which in the 1972 season had just missed out on promotion by a single point, won its Denmark Series group by beating Brøndby IF in the decisive match, after which they won the whole division after beating Viborg FF 1–0 in the divisional finals. Sinding returned to the position of head coach at Brøndby IF in 1975 to coach the newly promoted 3rd Division team. The goal from the board's side was this time position in the top six and a continuation of the club's attacking style of play. Sinding's stay at the club this time lasted two seasons, and ended short of the desired promotion.
After leaving Brøndby again, Sinding held head coaching positions at Skovshoved IF and the 1st Division (first-tier) club B.93, where he was hired as a new coach to replace the outgoing Erik Gynild. Sinding coached the side for a total of 80 matches (26 wins, 19 draws and 35 losses) between 1977–1979 and for a short period in the 1977 season he also coached the club's 2nd senior team in the Denmark Series together with player-coach Erling Bøje. At the halfway point of the 1979 season, after two years at B.93 with 13th place and 7th place finishes, respectively, the board of the club decided to dismiss Sinding due to the first team's relegation battle. The team had at that point lost six games in a row and bottom of the 1st Division, after which Bøje took over as head coach for the remaining 15 matches of the season and managed to heed the club from relegation, which was secured in the penultimate matchday against Slagelse B&I.
