Among other things, Brede Hangeland takes on a newly created role.
NFF confirms that Solbakken will bring much of the gadget that was with Lars Lagerbäck, but the former FCK boss also brings new faces.
Brede Hangeland enters a new role as player director, Kent Bergersen becomes Solbakken’s assistant, while Andrew Findlay becomes an analyst.
– This is a well-composed support apparatus with several superior competencies. The team is a mix of continuity and renewal, and has different strengths. I’m interested in putting together properties that will help fulfill on the training ground, off the field and between meetings, says Ståle Solbakken in the association’s press release.
While Bergesen is coming from the head coach position at Kvik Halden, Findlay was Solbakken’s head of analysis also at FC Copenhagen.
Furthermore, the association states that Frode Grodås will continue in the technical team of the national team A as an assistant coach.
– In the work of assembling a new support device, Ståle has taken care to continue with the important experience of the current support device, but at the same time adding something new that complements Ståle as a leader and coach, and that is focused on international references. We have great faith that this team will work well together in pursuit of international progress and qualification for the championship, and we would like to congratulate the three newcomers, Kent, Brede and Andrew, on the assignment, says Lise Klaveness, director of the best NFF national and soccer teams. .
The association claims that Hangeland’s role will be to follow up with individual players from the A national team, as well as mapping and following relevant players and respective clubs between meetings.
The former national team stopper will also have additional responsibility for role training for defensive players.
The 39-year-old has worked as a Premier League expert for TV 2 in recent years, and Vegard Jansen Hagen, the channel’s sports manager, confirms that Hangeland will take over before the new year.
– Hangeland has his last day as a permanent expert on December 28. TV 2 then has a deal with NFF that gives him the opportunity to be a guest on later shows, but then as part of the technical team for the national team, he tells Nettavisen.
– Do you still believe that you will get the lineups of the national team long before the others?
– Haha. We could not be the first with this news. There we were hit by fotball.no. It may indicate that we’re entering some lean years ahead, but we’re not giving up, says Jansen Hagen with a laugh.
Hangeland himself is aware that Solbakken’s request was good enough for him to say no.
– The opportunity to work with the best coach in Norway and the best players in the country is a unique opportunity for me. I am a huge fan of the national team. I am looking forward to the national team reaching the championship. It was simply an opportunity that it was not possible to say no to, he tells TV 2.
