Tore Reginiussen joins Schalke
Tromso's Tore Reginiussen is now a Schalke player. The eight-times-capped Norway international has signed a contract that will tie him to the Royal Blues until 30 June 2013.
Schalke manager Felix Magath is delighted to have signed another young talent. Reginiussen is a central defender who can also be used in defensive midfield. "Tore is a very talented young player, so it's good that he'll be linking up with us in the winter break as that will allow us to ease him into the Bundesliga gently", said head coach Felix Magath on signing the 23-year-old.
Reginiussen began his footballing career at Alta IF in his home country of Norway. At the beginning of 2006 he then switched to Tromso IL, where he made 54 first division appearances (4 goals). The 1.85 metre defensive specialist has also played 15 times for the Norway under-21 side and made his senior international debut against Montenegro on 26 March 2008. (www.schalke04.com)

Who is going to coach Rosenborg?
As Rosenborg's coach Erik Hamren has signed for Sweden the club is trying to find someone to replace him.Jan Jönson and Trond Sollied seems to be the main candidates, but today Adressavisen claims that the legend Nils Arne Eggen is in negotiations with the club, something both the players and the fans think is a great idea.
Eggen is best known as the manager of Rosenborg in the period 1988–97 and 1999–2002 and winning the league 11 times during these years.

Update
The players of Tippeligaen have started their Christmas holidays, but things are still happening in Norwegian football.
FC Lyn Oslo is now declared bankrupt, the hearing will find place on the 10th of December. If they haven't raised several millons by then the club will disappear from the league system.
Viking has hired Åge Hareide as their new manager. The former Manchester City player resigned from his position as Norway's national team coach in December 2008, after not winning a single match in 2008.
Tom Nordlie will continue as Fredrikstad manager even though the players have complained about his leading style, which according to Pål André Czwartek makes the players scared. "He yells at people in the open."
[Wikipedia on Nordlie:]
Nordlie is one of the most recognized coaches in Norway. His football philosophy is to be "insane but in control" and to "give a 100%, but also focus on one's tasks". Nordlie was never a great football player, however he has achieved several milestones as a manager. He explains this as follows "It is not necessary to have been a horse in order to be a good jockey".
Nordlie has experienced both ups and downs in his career. In 1998, he led Odd Grenland to promotion to the Norwegian Premier League, and to a respectable seventh place the next season. In 2000, he took over big club Vålerenga, but was fired after a disastrous season, that led to Vålerenga's relegation from the Norwegian Premier League. After working as a football expert in TV 2 for a while, Nordlie was hired as coach of Sandefjord. He led the club to the play-off in both 2002 and 2003, but lost both times. In 2004 he took over the struggling Start, and in his first season in charge, Start won the First Division and were promoted. In their return to Tippeligaen, Start had a great spring season, and took home the silver medal, only beaten by one goal by Vålerenga. Nordlie won the Kniksen award as coach of the year.
Stabæk has bought Veigar Pall Gunnarson back from the French club Nancy. Gunnarson left the club one year ago, after having been one of the most important players in the season that ended with first place in the league for the club from Bærum.

Gunnarsson was leading the attack with Nannskog, a partnership which was the most feared duo in the league, according to statistics (goals and assist). In the 2006 season, Nannskog became top scorer in the Norwegian Premier League with 19 goals, with Gunnarsson finishing one goal behind.
In 2007, Stabæk finished second, just behind winners Brann. Gunnarson played well, and was the seasons assist leader with 17, and fourth on the scoring chart with 15.[1]
The following season he made another big contribution to the club, helping them winning the league. Again he was the seasons assist leader with 14, in addition to 10 goals.
This signing means that neither Fredrik Berglund nor Daigo Kobayashi will have their contracts renewed.
NFF has revealed that the 2010 season will start on the 14th of March, and last to the end of November, something that will make it the longest season in history, which means that we once again will watch matches like these two:
