His injury issues ensured that Agger missed out on the 2006 FA Cup title win made possible by the penalty shootout win over London team West Ham United. Liverpool came from a two-goal deficit to share six goals with the Hammers at the end of normal time. The two teams failed to score in extra time before Liverpool triumphed during penalty shootout to win the FA Cup title.

Daniel Agger partnered Per Nielsen at the heart of the Danish defenceduring a friendly game which ended in a 4-1 win for his team.

Daniel Agger has stated that he felt betrayed by Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers from their time together at Merseyside giants Liverpool. Agger made this known on the Bag om Trojen podcast in his native Denmark. According to Daniel Agger, he asked Rodgers if he wanted him to stay at Liverpool amidst the interest from Spanish La Liga giants Barcelona.

Ex-Liverpool centre back Agger disclosed that he had a discussion with Rodgers where the Northern Irishman was informed that his preference is to stay at Anfield if he wants him and that he would leave for Catalan club Barcelona if the manager doesn't want him at Liverpool.

Daniel Agger was given the opportunity to manage a professional football team for the first team when he was named the manager of HB Koge in the Danish first division, the second tier of club football in Denmark. Daniel Agger became HB Koge manager in the summer and he has been able to lead the team to mid-table.
