Board resigns, no coach: Rosenborg crisis deepens

The board has fallen

Rosenborg's entire board is stepping down. They've called a press conference today, Monday, to announce they're making their positions available and summoning an extraordinary general meeting (3). This comes after demands from club members (2). For a club already sitting 15th in the table with just nine points from 11 matches, this is a governance earthquake at the worst possible moment.

Still no head coach

Key Rosenborg figures are leaving Trondheim today, and the club remains without a manager (4). The search drags on while the team lingers in a relegation spot during the VM-pause. The 2–2 draw against Bodø/Glimt on Friday left everyone frustrated, and the silence since has only deepened the sense of drift. No appointment appears imminent.

What this means for you

Your club is in genuine danger. Relegation would trigger what the supporter group leader has warned would be a sports and economic crisis. The board's resignation could be a necessary reset, or it could deepen the chaos. Everything hinges on who takes over, both in the boardroom and on the touchline.

Fan reactions

The mood among supporters is grim but not entirely hopeless. Some fans on Reddit see the board's resignation as overdue, pointing to years of mismanagement that have finally caught up with the club. Others are anxious that the timing, mid-crisis and without a coach, could make things worse before they get better. The dominant thread is exhaustion, another season, another circus at Lerkendal.
