Career

Damallsvenskan

He won the 2016 Damallsvenskan title with Linköpings FC.

Norway national team

He agreed to take the Norway national team job in 2016.[2] Upon taking the job, he declared his ambitions to lead Norway to Olympic qualification.[3]

Norway failed to progress past the group stage in the UEFA Women's Euro 2017, finishing last in Group A without scoring a goal.

He led Norway to the quarterfinals of the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup, finishing second in Group A during the group stages before being defeated 3–0 by England in the quarterfinals.

The team failed to qualify for the 2020 Summer Olympics.

In 2021, he signed a new contract with the Norway national team, with included provisions for a performance review after the 2022 Euros. However, he resigned as Norwegian coach following the UEFA Women's Euro 2022, where Norway failed to progress past the group stage for a second consecutive tournament and suffered an 8–0 loss to England, one of the largest in the tournament's history.[4]
