From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Denmark coach Morten Olsen has announced he will leave his post at the end of his side's Euro 2012 campaign.
Olsen has been in charge of the Denmark national team for 10 years, during which time he has guided them to the quarter-finals of Euro 2004 as well as the 2002 and 2010 World Cup finals.
The 61-year-old's contract was due to run out after the finals in Poland and Ukraine.
"These will be my final qualifiers. I informed the federation yesterday that I didn't wish to prolong my contract," Olsen said at a press conference today.
"It is all very unremarkable. I am simply announcing this decision now because it is extremely important that the DBU have sufficient time to find the right replacement.
"Now it is all about getting the team to Euro 2012. It is important that I hand over good players and a good team to my successor."
Denmark currently sit third in Euro 2012 qualifying Group H, three points behind leaders Norway.
Olsen, a former Denmark captain, will leave his post as the only Dane to have played and coached his country 100 times.
