On Friday (5:45 p.m.) Germany and Croatia will face each other in the first semi-final of the 2026 European Handball Championship. For the DHB it is also a reunion with an old friend: Dagur Sigurdsson. The Croatian coach led the German selection to the European Championship title in 2016, among other things. Around ten years later, however, the Icelander has really lost his joy about the continental comparison.
