Timeline
Anja Jul Andersen (born 15 February 1969 in Odense, Denmark) is a former Danish team handball player and current coach.
She is an Olympic champion, World champion and two times European champion.
She was an important part of the renaissance in Danish handball during the 1990s.
Although the national handball team of the 1990s had many profiles it is undisputed that Andersen was the most prolific and controversial.
Although nobody questioned her skills, her temper, causing numerous expulsions from high-profile matches, was an issue of some debate.
Her temper and impressive skills afforded everybody an opinion and after the first gold medal at the European championship in 1994 the national team affectionately earned the nickname "the iron ladies" and status of national sports heroes.
During the 1996 Summer Olympics, the Danish coach, Ulrik Wilbek, briefly banned her from the team due to disputes of her playing style and behavior on the floor.
She has played 133 matches for the Danish national handball team for women and has scored 725 goals.
It was also Andersen who introduced handball to true showmanship.
Greatly influenced by basketball and notably the Harlem Globetrotters, she invented a playing style aimed at the audience rather than the opposing team.
In 1997, she was named IHF World Player of the Year.
She is widely regarded as one of the best female handball players of all time.
Because of a heart defect, Andersen stopped her player career in 1999.
Andersen immediately started coaching the Danish Women's Handball League club Slagelse.
After her retirement as an active player, she organized a "dream team" of the best female handball players in 2000 and 2001 which played a selected Danish team.
The "dream team" matches were a success, but they stopped when Andersen could no longer play actively herself.
She first helped the team reach the top league and later win the Champions League three times, in 2003/04, 2004/05 and 2006/07.
In 2006, she also coached the national team of Serbia.
She was amitted to the Danish Sports Hall of Fame in 2007.
Anja Andersen is known for her skills as an offensive player, as well as her strong temper and courage to make dramatic scenes and daring tricks during a match.
In 2008, she left Slagelse for FCK Håndbold.
In 2010, she left FCK Håndbold because the club dissolved and decided to take a break before coaching a new team.
In February 2011, Andersen became the new coach of Oltchim Râmnicu Vâlcea.
The Romanian club hired her in the attempt of winning the Champions League.
In March 2011, after less than two months of coaching, she was fired because of poor results, losing two matches from a total of four on the bench of Oltchim in the main round of the Champions League.
In 2015 after parting ways with the 1.
division club DHG Håndbold, she stated that her managing career was over, and that she "could not imagine getting involved with Handball again".
During her active career as a handball player she won numerous tournaments:
Her career as a coach has also yielded results:
