Building winning teams and the players within them
Head coach with fourteen years in professional and elite-level football, the last six leading teams in the Norwegian top divisions. Owns everything that shapes a team's season — the game model, the training, the recruitment and the culture — and is the coach a club trusts to build a side that competes and develops players. Led a team to promotion and a cup run while developing several players who moved on to bigger clubs. Sets the playing style and training programme, leads the coaching staff, manages the squad and recruitment, and builds the standards and culture behind results. Demanding, tactically sharp and genuinely good at getting more out of players. Looking for a head-coach role with a club that wants to win and to develop.
