Spanish coach Juan Pastor is doing a great job in Hungarian runners-up Pick Szeged. EHF Cup trophy last season, obviously isn’t enough for ambitious team, eternal rival of MKB MVM Veszprem, as Szeged have great expectations in current EHF Champions League campaing, in which Hungarians have 6-1 score and ensured second place in the Group D behind Polish Vive Tauron Kielce. PICK will try to reinforce their squad before the start of the second part of the season with Danish gunner, left back Nikolaj Markussen. A 26 years old left back has to come to Hungary after World Championship 2015 in Qatar, finds out Handball-Planet.com.
That won’t be the first time for 211 cm tall Dane to leave some team in the middle of the season. He left BM Atletico Madrid in direction Qatar (El Jaish) after EHF CL TOP 16 matches in season 2012/2013.
He is currently member of the Danish Skjern, but his contract coming to the end next June. Rumours speaking that Danish team will let him to join Hungarians with some compensation.

I don’t believe it. Pastor has two good left backs, Toni GarcÃa and Ferenc Ilyes and a third player who is central but works very nice in that position when these are injured, Niko Mindegia. I think Pastor doesn’t want to have problems into the team with signing another left back more and I don’t believe this information……I think this is only a unfounded rumor
