== Playing career ==
Høgmo grew up in [[Gratangen Municipality]], a small community in southern [[Troms]] county, and began his football career as a midfielder for his local club [[Gratangen IL|Gratangen]]. In 1978, he joined [[FK Mjølner|Mjølner]], the biggest club in his home region, and spent six seasons with the [[Narvik (town)|Narvik]] side before moving to Tromsø in 1984, where he joined [[Tromsø IL|Tromsø]], and spent the rest of his top-level playing career with the exception of a short spell with Swedish team [[IFK Norrköping|Norrköping]] in 1985–86. He played for Tromsø until 1988 season, and was a member of the TIL team that won the [[Norwegian Football Cup|Norwegian Cup]] in 1986. He also got one cap for [[Norway national football team|Norway]], when he played the last 15 minutes as a substitute for [[Vegard Skogheim]], in a match against [[Switzerland national football team|Switzerland]] on 8 November 1986.

== Managerial career ==
Høgmo started his coaching career in [[Gratangen IL|Gratangen]] where he served as playing manager in the 1989-season. Following this spell, he served two years in [[Tromsdalen UIL|Tromsdalen]] before moving to [[Tromsø IL|Tromsø]] for the 1992-season.<ref name="snl"/>

In 1997, Høgmo moved to coaching the [[Norway women's national football team|women's national football team]]. In this role, Høgmo achieved considerable success by leading the team to a fourth place in the World Cup of 1999, and a gold medal in the [[2000 Sydney Olympics]].<ref name="snl"/> Between 2000 and 2003, he was hired by national federation to coach the national U21 team.<ref name="snl"/> Following this spell, Høgmo returned to Tromsø for his second spell at the club. Høgmo spent the 2004 season at Tromsø, taking the team to a fourth place in the league, and qualifying them for [[Royal League]].{{Citation needed|date=June 2009}}. By achieving success with Tromsø, Høgmo attracted interest from other clubs, however, and in August, 2005, he was signed by [[Rosenborg BK|Rosenborg]] to replace [[Per Joar Hansen]]. Rosenborg had suffered a tremendously bad start of the season and were closer to the relegation struggle than to the top of the league. Høgmo turned the team around, however, and took the team to a seventh place in the league.

The next season was more difficult for Høgmo. After the team suffered from a slow start of the season, Høgmo took out sick leave and left the club in incertainty. Høgmo's assistant, Knut Tørum, meanwhile did his things well in the club and in October 2006, Høgmo resigned from his position as manager, and said he would withdraw from football to pursue a new career.{{Citation needed|date=June 2009}}

Høgmo's stint away from football would last only two years. In 2008, he was signed by Tromsø for the third time, replacing [[Steinar Nilsen]]. In his first season at the club, Høgmo took the team to the third spot in the league - improving the team's sixth spot finish in the 2007-season. The 2009-season was slightly more difficult for Høgmo and Tromsø, but the team nevertheless finished sixth in the league. In 2010, success continued for Høgmo when he took the team to the top of the league at the start of the season. Despite slowing off a little after the summer break, Tromsø nevertheless confirmed their status as one of the best teams in the [[Norwegian Premier League]] that season.

On 27 September 2013, Per Mathias Høgmo replaced [[Egil Olsen]] as coach of [[Norway national football team|Norway]]. Olsen agreed to stand down following the World Cup qualifying defeat at home to [[Switzerland national football team|Switzerland]].
