Notes
- Lars Friis was signed by AaB as manager on 25 January, but his contract with Viborg prevented him from starting in that job until 1 August 2022. Viborg FF decided to suspend him and hire a new manager. Viborg and AaB agreed on a compensation in March 2022, which meant that Friis could start on 9 March 2022
