With his impressive track record at the Danish Football Association, where he played a central role in modernising talent development and implementing a unified playing philosophy that helped Denmark rise from 46th to 9th in the FIFA World Rankings, Berg's arrival was met with excitement and high expectations. He was handed a clear mandate: improve the club's developmental structure, enhance its football methodology, and create a streamlined pathway for academy players to reach the first team or move abroad.

Nearly three years into his tenure at Chloorkop, the Siya crew has taken a closer look at the changes Berg has overseen, the successes he has helped engineer, the missteps that have emerged, and the growing sentiment that he should now be held more accountable for both the good and the bad.
