Tore Reginussen, the young central defender of Schalke has gone on loan to Italian Lecce.

Jan Jönsson to become next Rosenborg manager.

Stabak.no has today finally confirmed what has been a badly kept secret for a long time: Jan Jönsson will go to Rosenborg when his contract with Stabæk finishes in December.

Jan Jönsson has been in Stabæk for 5 years, and led the team from Adeccoliga play to winning Tippeligaen in 2008. Jönsson was awarden the Kniksen price for his accivement.


Nils Arne Eggen, substitute manager in Rosenborg, was not in his best mood after yesterday's match against Stabæk, despite Morten Moldskred's late winning goal, his first this season. (watch him refuse the players to celebrate in front of the travelling fans)

Rumour has it Eggen would have preferred to coach Rosenborg for longer than the 5 months remaining.

Stabæk out, Rosenborg and Molde through

Stabæk is out of the Europa League before it has started properly, they lost on away goals after playing 2-2 in Telenor Arena tonight(3-3 on agregate) against Dnjepr Mogilev, Molde lost 2-1 against Jelgava, but their 1-0 victory in Molde last week secured their victory on agregate.

Rosenborg finally goot it together and beat Linfield 2-0 at Lerkendal Stadion in the Champeons League, and they will meet the Swedish double champions AIK in the next match. 17-year old Markus Henriksen scored the important 2-0 goal.

So the World Cup is over, and Norway didn't win this time either. Oh, that's right, we didn't even qualify. But now we are back and ready start on the long road to Euro 2012.

The most important thing that has happened in Norwegian football while the eyes of the world have been on South Africa and Jimmy Jump is that FK Lyn finally has been declared bankrupt. And the club that has been playing regularly in Eliteserien lately will have to start all over again in the 8th division.

The players have lost their job, and the only thing left is a 7000 supporters and the story of one of the first football clubs in Norway.

Stian Lyngstad, the 18 year old Lillestrøm talent fractured his leg in this weekends match against Rosenborg, and will be out for a while, bad news for the boy who might be the biggest side back talent in norway right now.


Chelsea, United and Lyon are all looking to sign Anthony Annan, the 23 year old Rosenborg player did well in South Africa together with Ghana and his value will have increased further.


Rosenborg is still on the top of the league, with Tromsø, Aalesund, Vålerenga and Viking following.

These are the quarter finals of the Norwegian Cup:
Ranheim IL - Strømsgodset IF
Rosenborg BK - IK Start
Follo Fotball - Sogndal IL
Odd Grenland - Viking FK
The matches will be played 14th or 15th of August.
