Despite the upcoming European home championship, handball national coach Alfred Gislason doesn’t believe in dietary restrictions for the national players on Christmas Day.
“I’m not getting involved in that. Anyone who has to take responsibility on the floor can also do that at Christmas dinner,” Gislason told the German Press Agency and added: “I’m not worried about that at all and I fully trust that that the team deals with it sensibly.”
The 64-year-old Icelander is spending the holidays with his partner, his daughter and her family in Berlin. On December 27th, he will bring his 19-member European Championship squad together for a three-day course in Frankfurt am Main, before the final stage of tournament preparation begins on New Year’s Day in Brunsbüttel.
At the final round from January 10th to 28th in six German cities, the DHB selection will meet Switzerland, North Macedonia and record world champion France in the preliminary round. The top two in each group qualify for the main round.
