Denmark rounded off their 2024 fixtures on Monday night with the draw, with the likes of Kasper Schmeichel , Christian Eriksen and Rasmus Hojlund all involved in the game.
Playing for Serbia were stars including Aleksandar Mitrovic and Dusan Vlahovic, but none of the attacking talent on either side could find a goal that would see the game finish with a winner. The result meant Denmark finished second in the Nations League League A Group 1 table, eight points behind winners Spain and failing to win any of their last four matches. There are now no more international breaks until March, meaning manager Riemer is potentially set for a holiday before work begins on the mission to help Denmark qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
And he was wasting no time with his post-match duties after the Serbia game, with no questions from the media in attendance heading his way, so he made a quick dash out of his seat.

We just go ahead with your questions, so please wait for the microphone and state the media that you represent and ask your questions for Brian.' The 46-year-old appeared set and ready to answer anything fired his way as he scanned the room, and waited for a few seconds as murmurs could be heard in the crowd.
'No questions?' the press officer asked, before adding: 'Alright, thank you for tonight.' Riemer, all smiles, got up off his chair and left the room, just 16 seconds after he had sat down and the conference had begun.

Denmark native Riemer started off his coaching career as a youth coach at Albertslund in his homeland, and continued to predominantly work in youth football until he joined Brentford in 2018. There, he would serve as assistant coach to Thomas Frank in the Championship, helping oversee promotion to the Premier League in the 2020-21 season and then being a part of the coaching set-up that led them to 13th in the Premier League. He left halfway through the Bees' second season in the top flight to take over at Anderlecht, but was sacked in September before taking the Denmark job.
