You guessed correct. I am Danish. (sorry for the spelling mistakes in advance) Hjulmand is a very respected coach in danish football and possibly a future coach for the danish national team. He quit his job at FC Nordsjælland (FCN) because he wants to coach abroad. He almost got the job at Anderlecht, (but they chose Kompany) and he is now being linked with Genk and Brøndby. As a fan of FC Copenhagen, I really don't hope he ends up at Brøndby.
He won the danish championship with FC Nordsjælland in 2011 and was in the Champions League group stage. Winning the danish championship with FCN is a big deal. FCN has a small budget compared to alot of the other teams in the danish league.
Hjulmand and FC Nordsjælland are famous for giving very young players a chance to play in the danish superliga. They don't buy many players but instead make them themselves. Then selling them at a big profit. Like Swansea have to do in the future.
As you can see, most players are very young but still gets to play at the highest level in Denmark. This resulting in FCN producing some of the best talent in Denmark. The players under Hjulmand are known for having very good technique and passing skills. His teams play a lot like Swansea did under Brendan Rodgers and Michael Laudrup. Playing out from the goal keeper with alot of passes. He plays with fast wing-backs and fast inside forwards. Either 4-3-3 or 3-4-3.
This season this 19 year old player https://www.transfermarkt.com/andreas-skov-olsen/profil/spieler/432982 has been the big talking point scoring 22 goals as a right inside forward. He is being linked with a lot of big clubs abroad. Last year nobody knew him. But Hjulmand gave him the chance.
Hjulmand used to be assistant under Wieghost in FC Nordsjælland earlier in his career but when Hjulmand was close to the Anderlecht job it was mentioned that he would bring Wieghorst as his assistant. So I think that might still be the plan. But not sure. I don't know if Wieghorst would like to go back to Swansea, but I think it helps that Huw is gone.
One of Hjulmand's good friends/colleagues is Thomas Frank, manager of Brentford.
Kasper Hjulmand. Plays The Swansea Way. He is used to working on a tight budget, like Potter did in Sweden. He's former team FC Nordsjælland had the youngest team in europe. Played with players 17-18 years old in Denmark. Developed players like Lobotka (now Celta, linked with Napoli and PSG), Andreas Skov Olsen (Linked with Barcelona, Dortmund and others), Nikolai Baden Frederiksen (Juventus) and Emre Mor (Celta).
You should look at Kasper Hjulmand former head coach of FC Nordsjælland from Denmark. Excellent at developing young players and playing The Swansea Way. He would take Morten Wieghorst with him as an assistent. As you know he was assistant under Laudrup.
Other targets: Jordan Rhodes Troy Deeney Danny Ings Luc Castaignos Farbio Borini Guidetti could be part of the deal with City, but looks like he is going to Celtic for 3 mill. £
