tier. Few highs and many lows (2004–2015) During the summer of 2004, 27-year old Anders Gerber is appointed head coach before the 2004–05 season. While the club ends in a mid-table finish the first season, the 2005–06 season was markedly better, and Fremad reached promotion to the second highest football league, ending in second place only behind Esbjerg fB in the table. The first season back in the second tier was a positive surprise, and the club avoided relegation after a 3–1 away win in the final round of the competition over Thisted FC on 24 June 2007. Martin Høgh scored a decisive brace in the 89th and 90th minute to secure another season in the second tier. In the following season Fremad relegated back to the 2nd Division again, ending in 15th place. Head coach Anders Gerber leaves the club after the disappointing relegation, and becomes head coach for FC Fyn. His replacement was Polish former footballer Krzysztof Popczyński. Aarhus Fremad becomes a regular in the third highest football league the next few years under Popczyński, while the club continues to struggle financially. Mogens Kamp, who was the last in a series of contracted managers for Fremad during the 2000s, resigned on 1 September 2009 which meant a change in club structure. Volunteers work to find new sponsors during this period, with one of these, Søren Østergaard, becoming the new manager for Aarhus Fremad on 1 February 2010. In the seasons 2010–11 and 2012–13, Aarhus Fremad finished in 2nd place, narrowly missing out on promotion to the second tier. On 11 July 2013, Popczyński was sacked and former FC Aarhus head coach Jesper Tollefsen was appointed as his replacement the same day. Claus Christiansen took over as head coach 11 months later, when Tollefsen was sacked after a poor season in which the club suffered relegation to the Danish fourth tier, a division which Fremad had not competed in since 1995. Fremad only played one season at this level, however, as they gained promotion back to the Danish third tier with five rounds left of the regular season. The last match of the season, a 5–0 home win over FC Djursland on 20 June 2015 meant the definitive return to the third tier after a season with only two losses and a +57 goal difference. Since the 2015–16 season Fremad has competed in the third tier. New ambitions (2015–present)
