In July 2009 it was confirmed, that Krogh had joined Danish club BGA as a playing-assistant coach under manager Thomas Maale.[1] In the summer 2011, Krogh joined his former club FC Nordsjælland as assistant coach for the U-19 team. He was promoted then promoted to the first team in July 2015, where he also would function as assistant coach.[2] Two years later, in July 2017, he signed a contract extension with Nordsjælland.[3] On 10 December 2019 Nordsjælland confirmed, that Krough would leave the club to join AaB.[4]
AaB confirmed the arrival of Krogh as the club's new head of football on 10 December 2019, from the beginning of 2020.[5] In November 2020 Krogh revealed, that he would leave his position at the end of the season, as he wanted to return coaching.[6] However, he left the club already on 18 January 2022, when he was announced as the new assistant coach of Andreas Alm at Danish Superliga club OB.[7]
Following the sacking of Alm in November 2023, Krogh promoted to manager of OB.[8] In the 2024-25 season he won the Danish 1st Division with OB.[9] He was despite the title win replaced with German manager Alexander Zorniger, as the club felt they 'needed more experience'.[10]
