Thorvaldsson resigns as Haugesund coach on the day

Sport: The Rogaland club reports this in its media channels on Friday.

– We were looking forward to a long and good collaboration with Oskar, but it doesn’t always turn out the way you want and think. We thank him for the effort he has put into developing FK Haugesund, and are now starting the process of finding his replacement. Our course and strategy for the club remains the same, says FKH chairman Christoffer Falkeid in a statement.

Oskar Hrafn Thorvaldsson was hired as late as October 2023 and led Haugesund in seven official matches. There were two victories in the Eliteserien. In the cup, there was a shock loss against the 4th division team Torvastad in the first round.

According to Haugesund, the club management was informed on Thursday that the Icelander chooses to resign as head coach at the club.

Assistant coaches Sancheev Manoharan, Paul André Farstad and Kamil Rylka take over coaching responsibilities and lead the team until a new permanent head coach is in place.

Haugesund is in 13th place in the table with six points after six games.
