– I have decided, after thinking about it for a long time, to open my own Tiktok. There are various reasons for this, but the main reason is that there are idiots around the world creating fake profiles.
This is how John Arne Riise recently began a longer monologue on his new Tiktok user.
– Disrespectful
The former national team and Liverpool player is fed up with people allegedly creating fake accounts in his name, and therefore chooses to take action.
– I am tired of those who use my photos and videos of me and my children, and send messages to random people and pretend they are me. I think it’s disrespectful, Riise continues in the video.

He makes a clear appeal to his followers, if they see any other users in his name.
– Please report and get them off Tiktok, says Riise, and points out that he is also looking forward to the journey with his followers on the platform.
Nettavisen mentioned the case first in Norway.

Finished last year
The 43-year-old was last coach for Avaldsnes, but is currently without a coaching job.
In December last year, John Arne Riise (43) confirmed that he had finished as head coach in Avaldsnes after the club struggled with “extremely challenging finances”. The Karmøy club saved its place in the Toppserien, but lost its license as a result of financial problems.
Riise is listed with 110 international matches for Norway, and is considered by many to be a club legend in Liverpool.
