Kristiansund BK is a Norwegian football club located in Kristiansund. It currently plays in the Norwegian First Division. Kristiansund BK was formed in the autumn of 2003, when two rival clubs of Kristiansund, Kristiansund FK and Clausenengen FK, agreed to establish a new elite team.

History

Since Magnar Isaksen won a bronze medal in the 1936 Summer Olympics, many footballers from Kristiansund have played for the Norwegian national team including Ole Gunnar Solskjær, Øyvind Leonhardsen and Trond Andersen.[1] In addition have players like Ola Lyngvær, Jan Erlend Kruse, Arild Stavrum, Ole Erik Stavrum and Andre Flem has played for different clubs in the Norwegian Premier League, and Clausenengen has been called a "talent factory".[2] Nevertheless, the football clubs from Kristiansund has had limited success,[1] with Kristiansund FK's spell in the First Division in 1991[3] and Clausenengen in 1999[4] as the most recent.

In 2003, the local bank Sparebank 1 Nordvest initiated a merge between Kristiansund FK and Clausenengen, with the bank as the main sponsor of the new club paying 750,000 kr per year.[1] Kristiansund BK was founded on 2 September 2003 and replaced Kristiansund FK in the Third Division,[5] with the other two clubs continuing to play in the lower divisions.

The club finished second behind Træff in their Third Division group in 2004[6] and won promotion to the Second Division in 2005 after beating Volda in the 4-2 on aggregate in the promotion playoff.[7] In 2006, Kristiansund finished seventh in their first season in the Second Division.[8] Ahead of the 2007-season, Geir Midtsian replaced Ole Gunnar Iversen as head coach[9][10] and with New Zealand international Kris Bright on the team, who scored 23 goals in 26 matches for the club,[11] Kristiansund BK started to look like a contender for promotion and finished fifth in 2007 and fourth in 2008.[5] The team also eliminated the Rosenborg in the second round of the 2008 Norwegian Football Cup.[12]

After finishing third in 2009,[13] the club's goal was promotion to the First Division,[14] and in March 2010 Kristiansund BK and Surnadal IL started a cooperation with Molde FK on developing local players.[15] In August 2010 Molde FK loaned out Elias Valderhaug and Jacob Falch Meidell to Kristiansund BK to help out in the race for promotion,[16] but the team finished second behind Hødd.[17] After a suffering from bad results in the beginning of the 2011-season, Midtsian decided to withdrew as head coach in July 2011,[10] while his assistants Per Eirik Bentz and Torgeir Fredly was in charge until the club hired a new head coach.[18] The team's results improved in the second half of the season and finished second behind Bærum.[17]

On 10 November 2011, Kristiansund BK announced that they had hired Geir Bakke, who had previously worked as assistant coach at the first-tier clubs Vålerenga and Stabæk, as head coach starting from 1 January 2012.[19] After playing 21 matches without losing, the club was promoted to the First Division on 16 September 2012, as winners of their 2012 Norwegian Second Division group in 2012.[17][20]
