Sources: Rejin to take over as TSM head coach

The former MOUZ coach has been out of a job since leaving Sashi last month.

Rejin is set to take charge of TSM's squad

Allan "⁠Rejin⁠" Petersen is poised to take charge of TSM’s Counter-Strike team, multiple sources have told HLTV. The 36-year-old has already reached an agreement with the North American organization and should be unveiled soon.

The Danish coach will fill a position that has been vacant since Rémy "⁠XTQZZZ⁠" Quoniam stepped down from the role to return to Vitality. The coaching duties were then handed over to assistant Lambert "⁠Lambert⁠" Prigent while the organization evaluated its next steps for the position.

Rejin has been out of a job since November, when he was let go from his role as Sports Director at Sashi amid a restructuring of the organization’s management. Previously, he had spent over a year at the helm of Endpoint’s team.

In September, Rejin made headlines after he successfully appealed his ESIC demerit points down from eight to five, allowing him to coach at Majors again following the conclusion of PGL Major Copenhagen. He was previously suspended from Majors for life for his use of the coach bug during his time at the helm of Tricked.

Rejin will be tasked with overseeing a team that hasn’t lived up to the hype generated by TSM’s return to Counter-Strike after a seven-year absence. The squad is currently ranked 66th in the world, and roster changes could be coming as the qualifiers for the Copenhagen Major are only a few weeks away.
