Åge Fridtjof Hareide (born 23 September 1953 in Hareid) is a Norwegian football manager and former player. He is currently the manager of Viking FK.
[edit] Playing career
During his playing career, Hareide played for Hødd, Molde, Manchester City and Norwich City.[1]
He was also an active player for the Norwegian national team from 1976 through 1986, scoring five goals in 50 matches.[2]
[edit] Coaching career
As a coach he has won three European countries' national league championships, namely that of Denmark, Sweden and his native Norway, placing him alongside Trond Sollied and Sven-Göran Eriksson while Ernst Happel and Giovanni Trapattoni have won championships in four different countries.
In the mid 1990s, Norweigan millionaires Kjell Inge Rokke and Bjorn Rune Gjelsten were reportedly interested in bringing Hareide back to Manchester City as manager if their bid to take over the club was successful, but the takeover bid failed and Hareide never returned to the club. When the pair tried to take over Leeds United around the same time, it was once again reported that Hareide would be installed as manager if the takeover bid succeeded, but this bid too failed and Hareide was never put in charge at Elland Road. However, the pair finally succeeded in a takeover bid for fellow English Premier League club Wimbledon in June 1997, and Hareide appeared all set to become the new manager of the club in a move that would have ousted the incumbent Joe Kinnear. But this never happened either.[3]
Hareide was employed as the coach of the Norwegian national football team at the end of 2003, replacing Nils Johan Semb, after one season as coach of Rosenborg BK. On December 8, 2008, after having failed to take Norway to any international tournaments, and having had a bad start to the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign, Hareide resigned from his position as national team coach of Norway. On 9 December 2008 Hareide announced that he was stepping down as coach of the Norwegian national team.[4]
On 10 June 2009 it was announced that he will be coaching Örgryte IS. On 1 December 2009 the former Norway national team head coach left the Swedish club to join Viking FK, from Stavanger to replace Uwe Rösler.[5]
Following Egil Østenstad resignation as director of football in Viking, Viking announced in September 2011 that Hareide would be manager of Viking,[6] and that Josep Clotet Ruiz would be hired as coach from the 2012-season onwards,[7] similar to the organization English clubs and Molde have, with Ole Gunnar Solskjær as manager and Mark Dempsey as coach.[8]
[edit] Media career
After resigning as the Norwegian national team's coach Hareide began working as an expert Norwegian Premier League commentator for the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation.[9]
