Strømøy and Gjersvold clash over RBK candidate

Two prominent voices in Norwegian football are at odds over who should be Rosenborg's next head coach. Tore Strømøy and Ståle Gjersvold have publicly disagreed on the best candidate to lead the club out of its relegation crisis (1). With Rosenborg sitting 15th in the table with just nine points from 11 matches and entering the VM-pause in genuine danger of dropping out of the top flight, the urgency to appoint the right successor has never been greater. The search comes amid mounting pressure from supporters, with the club's supporter group already warning that relegation would trigger both a sports and economic crisis.
