Heimir Hallgrimsson: ‘Nobody is underestimating Iceland any more, we have a good future’

When he became Iceland coach after the team’s amazing exploits at Euro 2016, Heimir Hallgrimsson made it a priority to protect the things that make his team unique.

That would explain why he was helping somebody with a dentistry problem last week, and why he will be in the pub tomorrow evening before masterminding the team’s first home World Cup qualifier against Finland.

Hallgrimsson, a qualified dentist, treated a player who lost a tooth in a recent match played near his clinic.
