'''Rosenborg Ballklub''', commonly referred to simply as '''Rosenborg''' ({{IPA|no-NO-03|ˈrùːsn̩bɔrɡ|lang}}) or '''RBK''', is a Norwegian professional [[association football|football]] club from [[Trondheim]] that plays in [[Eliteserien (football)|Eliteserien]]. The club has won a record 26 league titles, a shared record 12 [[Norwegian Football Cup]] titles and have played more [[UEFA]] matches than any other Norwegian team. RBK play their home games at the [[all-seater]] [[Lerkendal Stadion]] which has a capacity of 21,421.

The club was founded as '''Odd''' in 1917 but were not allowed to play amateur league matches until 1928, when they took the present name. They reached the [[League of Norway]] in [[1937–38 League of Norway|1937–38]], but were relegated to lower divisions during the 1940s. The club moved to Lerkendal in 1957 and their first title was the [[1960 Norwegian Football Cup|1960 Cup]], resulting in their first participation in a UEFA tournament. It was not until the 1960s that RBK was established as Trondheim's leading football team. In 1967 RBK was promoted to the top league where they, except for the 1978 season, have remained ever since. They won three league titles between 1967 and 1971. The club's golden era started with the 1985 league title. From 1991 through 2004 the team won 13 consecutive titles, 10 under manager [[Nils Arne Eggen]]. During this period, they also participated in the group stage of [[UEFA Champions League|Champions League]] 11 times, reaching the quarter-finals in [[1996–97 UEFA Champions League|1996–97]].

Rosenborg are nicknamed ''Troillongan'' ("The [[Troll]] Children") and have played in white shirts and black shorts for most of their history. [[Molde FK–Rosenborg BK rivalry|Their longest-standing and fiercest rivalry]] is with [[Molde FK]].

== History ==
{{Main|History of Rosenborg BK}}

=== Early years (1917–1959) ===

On 19 May 1917, 12 young men from ''Rosenborg'' in Trondheim founded '''Sportsklubben Odd'''. The name ''Odd'' was a tribute to [[Odd Grenland B.K.|Odd]] of [[Skien (town)|Skien]], the most successful team in Norway at the time. Odd spent their first few years playing against other local teams before attempting to join the regional series in 1920. As with most of the "buddy" clubs formed at the time, they were repeatedly denied access. Since many of these players also played for the bigger teams, the authorities feared a possible shortage of players if too many small clubs were let in. As the years went by, disillusioned players began leaving the club, and in 1923 the first team played only a single match.

By 1926, management of the club had passed on to a new generation of members, and it was through their efforts that Odd were finally admitted into the regional series in 1927, ten years after the club was founded. A year later they were set for entry into the [[Football Association of Norway]], but their entry was blocked as the association refused to have two member clubs with the same name. The club therefore took on its current name, '''Rosenborg Ballklub''', on 26 October 1928. [[Rosenborg, Trondheim|Rosenborg]] is a mainly residential area in Trondheim.

Rosenborg enjoyed little success at first, moving constantly between the lower divisions of the regional series. Yet their performance was improving and in 1931 the team qualified for the highest level, and one year later they played in the [[Norwegian Football Cup|Norwegian Cup]] for the first time. It was also at this time that Rosenborg started planning for a new home ground at ''Lerkendal'', although this project was not completed until after World War II.

=== The breakthrough (1960–1968) ===

Rosenborg's youth team has been one of the best in the country ever since the club was founded and an especially talented generation of youth players during the 1950s would grow up to form the basis for the first team's success in the 1960s and onwards. In 1960 Rosenborg progressed all the way to the cup final where they faced Odd, the team from which they had adopted their original name and colours from in 1917. It took a rematch to decide the winner, but Rosenborg were able to claim their first trophy. Rosenborg won the cup again in 1964.

Rosenborg was promoted from the regional league to group A of the main Norwegian league in 1960. The following season the two groups of the top flight were combined into a single league of 16 teams with the teams finishing in the bottom half being relegated to the 2nd division. Rosenborg finished as number 9 out of the 16 teams and was relegated to the new 2nd division where they played from 1963 until they won promotion by winning group B in 1966.

In 1967 Rosenborg was promoted to the highest level in Norwegian football, the [[Norwegian Premier League|Main League]] (later the [[Norwegian Premier League|1st Division]]) for the first time.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.rbk.no/rbk-history/article/icordfuivo28184drza6kibie/title/fra-odd-til-nordens-stolthet |title=Historie &#124; Rosenborg |access-date=21 May 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151023153838/http://www.rbk.no/rbk-history/article/icordfuivo28184drza6kibie/title/fra-odd-til-nordens-stolthet |archive-date=23 October 2015 |url-status=dead }}</ref> This would prove to be a highly successful year for the club. Led on by such players as [[Harald Sunde (footballer)|Harald Sunde]], [[Nils Arne Eggen]], and the talented young forward [[Odd Iversen]], Rosenborg won their first league title. Iversen scored 17 goals in 18 matches that year, and would go on to score a massive 30 goals in the following season, although he alone could not prevent Rosenborg from being beaten to the title by [[F.C. Lyn Oslo|Lyn]]. By the end of the 1960s it was clear that Rosenborg had emerged as one of Norway's leading football clubs.

The 1960s saw Rosenborg venture onto the European stage for the first time. As winners of the cup in 1964, the club debuted in the [[UEFA Cup Winners' Cup|Cup Winners' Cup]] the following year. Three years later, Rosenborg entered the [[UEFA Champions League|European Cup]] as winners of the league.

=== Ups and downs (1969–1987) ===

Rosenborg hired Englishman [[George Curtis (footballer born 1919)|George Curtis]] as coach ahead of the 1969 season. Curtis introduced the new 4–4–2 formation and shifted focus towards tactics and organization rather than all-out attacking football. This move worked well to begin with, as Rosenborg were crowned league winners for the third time. However, when both Odd Iversen and Harald Sunde left the club, Rosenborg virtually stopped scoring goals and failed to win again in 1970. Curtis was criticized for being too defensively minded and was replaced by recently retired player Nils Arne Eggen, who reverted to a more crowd-pleasing style of play. Eggen's first of five tenures as coach was a resounding success; Rosenborg won [[Double (association football)|The Double]].

The 1971 Double marked the end of the club's first [[golden age]]. Rosenborg lost the cup final two consecutive seasons and began to struggle in the league. A flurry of coaches (including Eggen) came and went without making an impact and in 1977 the team won only one match the entire season, finishing dead last.

Nils Arne Eggen was then called in for his third tenure, from 1978 to 1982, and with the return of the now 35-year-old [[Odd Iversen]], Rosenborg climbed back into the 1st Division the following year. In 1979, Iversen became top goalscorer for the fourth time in his career, but by the time he had retired in 1982, the club had still not regained its former glory. That would finally happen in 1985 when, after 14 trophyless years, Rosenborg defeated [[Lillestrøm S.K.|Lillestrøm]] in the final match of the season to win the league by a single point.

=== Domination, The Nils Arne Eggen Era (1988–2002) ===

The year 1985 may have been a turning point in Rosenborg's fortunes, but it was in 1988 that things really started to happen. The club received fresh capital from its new main sponsor and was fully professionalized. Nils Arne Eggen returned to Trondheim to once again become head coach, this after leading [[Moss F.K.|Moss]] to the league title in 1987. In the waning years of the 1980s, the club secured Doubles twice (1988 and 1990).

Rosenborg went on to dominate Norwegian club football throughout the 1990s. In strong contrast to the [[Norwegian national football team|Norwegian national team]]'s defensive and often criticized (yet highly effective) style of play at the time, Rosenborg achieved success through strict adherence to crowd-pleasing, attacking football. The [[Norwegian Premier League]], established in 1991, was won 13 consecutive seasons from 1992. The Norwegian Cup was won five times.

In 1995, Rosenborg qualified for the [[UEFA Champions League]] for the first time, a feat which helped secure the club's finances and further cement its dominance at the domestic level. The income provided through successive qualifications has allowed Rosenborg to become by far the wealthiest club in Norway. Always able to offer the most promising new players better terms than their opponents, as well as the prospect of playing in Europe, Rosenborg were assured of future league championships and European qualifications. During this period, few clubs were ever able to mount a serious challenge for more than a season at a time.

=== European adventures ===
[[File:Lerkendal RBKvsValencia.jpg|thumb|Rosenborg vs Valencia]]
Rosenborg participated in the group phase of the Champions League 11 times in the 13 years between 1995 and 2007. Eight of them were consecutive (from 1995 to 2002), which was a record until 2004, when [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]] qualified for the group phase for a ninth successive year.

Rosenborg have on two occasions managed to progress beyond the first group stage of the Champions League. In the 1996–97 season, they were heading for an early exit, but with [[A.C. Milan|Milan]] squandering valuable points, the stage was set for a deciding match at [[San Siro]]. Rosenborg defeated Milan 2–1,<ref>{{cite news |title=Milan eliminated |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/milan-eliminated-1313093.html |work=The Independent |date=5 December 1996 |access-date=26 May 2012 }}</ref> ousting the Italians and putting themselves in the quarter-finals, where they lost 3–1 on aggregate against [[Juventus FC|Juventus]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Football: Rosenborg's dream vanishes with 89th-minute equaliser |first=Catherine |last=Riley |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football-rosenborgs-dream-vanishes-with-89thminute-equaliser-1288178.html |work=The Independent |date=11 December 1997 |access-date=26 May 2012 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=For Juventus, easy victory as an era approaches its end |first=Peter |last=Berlin |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1997/03/21/sports/21iht-soccer.t_13.html |work=The New York Times |date=21 March 1997 |access-date=26 May 2012 }}</ref> In the 1999–2000 season, Rosenborg won their group to secure a place in the second group stage.

Other highlights include the 2–0 win against [[Real Madrid CF|Real Madrid]] and a 5–1 victory over [[Olympiacos F.C.|Olympiacos]], both in the 1997–98 season. There have also been some dismal performances, particularly against French teams. Rosenborg lost 0–5 to [[Olympique Lyonnais|Lyon]] in 2002 and were crushed 2–7 by [[Paris Saint-Germain F.C.|Paris Saint-Germain]] in 2000.

The Norwegians failed to qualify in 2003, losing out to [[Deportivo de La Coruña|Deportivo La Coruña]], but managed to qualify again in 2004 after beating [[Maccabi Haifa F.C.|Maccabi Haifa]], and in 2005&nbsp;– despite the disappointing season&nbsp;– they qualified for the tenth time after winning 4–3 against [[FC Steaua București|Steaua București]].

Rosenborg managed to qualify for the 11th time in 2007. The club impressed with a 1–1 draw away against [[Chelsea F.C.|Chelsea]] and beating [[Valencia CF|Valencia]] 2–0 both home and away.

In July 2009, Rosenborg was eliminated from the [[2009–10 UEFA Europa League|UEFA Europa League]] in the second qualifying round against [[Qarabag F.C.|Qarabag]] of [[Azerbaijan]]. A year later, in August 2010, Rosenborg were eliminated in the [[2010–11 UEFA Champions League|UEFA Champions League]] in the play-off round, after a 2–2 draw against Danish side [[F.C. Copenhagen|Copenhagen]], with Copenhagen qualifying due to the away goals rule.

=== Consolidation (2003) ===

At the end of 2002 Rosenborg saw the retirement of Nils Arne Eggen after many successful years, during which he was only relieved once, in the 1998 season, by his assistant, [[Trond Sollied]]. Eggen was replaced by [[Åge Hareide]], who had previously led both [[Helsingborgs IF|Helsingborg]] and [[Brøndby IF|Brøndby]] to championships in their respective leagues.

Hareide asserted that in order to not only stay ahead at the domestic level, but also perform better at the European level, Rosenborg would have to become more cynical and focus more on defensive skill, while still maintaining the offensive play that had made the team so strong in the first place. The new manager also highlighted the need to renew the aging squad, whose continuity had been another key to the club's success; many of the players had been in the club since the start of the 1990s. In a controversial move, Hareide began this process by releasing the popular [[Bent Skammelsrud]], who subsequently retired.

Under new leadership, Rosenborg laid waste to the league, losing only three games and winning 14 points ahead of runners-up [[F.K. Bodø/Glimt|Bodø/Glimt]]. The club claimed its seventh successive Double, again defeating Bodø/Glimt in the cup final. Despite failing to qualify for the Champions League, Rosenborg had enjoyed another great season and it looked like Hareide's beginning reforms were paying off, but 2003 turned out to be his one and only season at the club as he accepted an offer to lead the Norwegian national team in December of that year. He was replaced by his assistant [[Ola By Rise]], a notable former goalkeeper and goalkeeping coach at the club.

=== Troubled times (2004–2005) ===

With Hareide's unexpected departure at the end of 2003 the club failed to properly execute the reforms he had begun. It also became clear that with the increased flow of capital into Norwegian football, some clubs were finally beginning to perform at a more consistent level close, or even equal, to that of Rosenborg. Rosenborg were no longer able to dominate every match, instead taking on the appearance of a team fed up with success.

Rosenborg were league winners again in 2004 but it was only through more goals scored that they were able to claim the title. Ola By Rise's contract was terminated in October, even though he succeeded in leading the team to the Champions League, and for some time it was uncertain who would take over. In November the club announced the return of Nils Arne Eggen as an advisor to former assistant manager, [[Per Joar Hansen]], who was promoted to manager. [[Bjørn Hansen (footballer)|Bjørn Hansen]] and [[Rune Skarsfjord]] would also act as assistant managers.

The scheme proved so unsuccessful that Rosenborg's 2005 season was for the most part a disaster. The club battled to avoid falling into the relegation zone for much of the season; Eggen left his role midways, and Per Joar Hansen left in August. [[Per-Mathias Høgmo]] followed Hansen as the club's manager immediately after his departure. His first months were marred by a series of embarrassing losses and an early exit from the cup, but with a late-season return to form the team held on to its place in the top flight and finishing third in the Champions League Group Stage, qualifying them for the UEFA Cup.

=== Turbulence (2006–2012) ===
[[File:Rosenborg (0) v CHELSEA (4) - 281107.jpg|thumb|Kjernen]]
Rosenborg's woes continued in the spring of 2006. Halfway through the season, rival [[S.K. Brann|Brann]] held a commanding 10-point lead. On 27 July, [[Per-Mathias Høgmo]] went on sick leave, citing burn-out as the cause. Assistant manager [[Knut Tørum]] took up the reins. For the third time in three years, an assistant would take the helm. This time, however, it was a complete success. Rosenborg won eight straight games, eliminating Brann's lead, and finally overtaking them. On 22 October, in what was described as "the biggest clash since the [[Battle of Stiklestad]]", Rosenborg defeated Brann away, giving the club a six-point lead with two rounds to go. The following weekend, Rosenborg defeated [[Viking F.K.|Viking]], securing the club's 20th league title. On 31 October, [[Per-Mathias Høgmo]] ended prolonged speculation on whether he would return and in what role, when he held a press conference where he stated that he resigned as manager with immediate effect, and would withdraw from football altogether. Tørum accepted an offer to be the permanent manager. Another resignation came on 11 February 2007, when director [[Rune Bratseth]] announced his resignation, citing among other things huge pressure from the media as his reason to resign. He was replaced by [[Knut Thorbjørn Eggen]], son of former manager Nils Arne Eggen, from 1 August.

Despite the good result in 2006, manager Knut Tørum wasn't able to gain the same success in the 2007 season. That, together with his troubles to get along with director Knut Thorbjørn Eggen resulted in his resignation on 25 October 2007. Assistant manager Trond Henriksen took charge of the club for the remainder of the 2007 season. Rosenborg finished the season in 5th place.

After Tørum's resignation, Rosenborg started negotiating with [[Trond Sollied]] to fill the head coach vacancy. Sollied, who since his departure in 1998 had become a merited coach in Belgium, had earlier been linked back to Rosenborg at several occasions. After a lengthy process Sollied turned down the job, giving ammunition to those criticizing the way in which Rosenborg has dealt with their recurring head coach issue in the latter years.<ref>{{cite web | title=In love with the Apprentice | url=http://bengteriksen.nettblogg.no/1197542991_forelska_i_lregutten.html | work=FXT.no | access-date=2 March 2008 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304041422/http://bengteriksen.nettblogg.no/1197542991_forelska_i_lregutten.html | archive-date=4 March 2016 | url-status=dead }}</ref> On 28 December, Rosenborg announced [[Erik Hamrén]] as their new coach for the 2008 season.<ref>{{cite web | title=Hamrén as new coach | url=http://www.rbk.no/incoming/article97073.ece | work=Rbk.no | access-date=2 March 2008 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080303064822/http://www.rbk.no/incoming/article97073.ece | archive-date=3 March 2008 }}</ref> Hamrén started as coach in Rosenborg on 1 June 2008, after he had fulfilled his duties as coach for [[AaB Fodbold|Aalborg BK]]. Days before Hamren's arrival [[Knut Thorbjørn Eggen]] announced his immediate resignation. The media speculated Eggen's resignation had been demanded by Hamrén in order to gain total control over the club. At 27 July 2008, Rosenborg became the first Norwegian team ever to win a final match in the UEFA Intertoto Cup, beating Dutch team NAC Breda 2–1 on aggregate. The win put RBK in the 2nd Qualifying Round of the [[2008–09 UEFA Cup]], where they advanced to the Group Stage. They did not win the Intertoto Cup, however; under rules instituted for the [[2006 UEFA Intertoto Cup|2006 competition]], the trophy is awarded to the Intertoto Cup club that advances farthest in the UEFA Cup. In the group stage Rosenborg failed to impress, finishing last with two points. The club also failed in the League, finishing at a disappointing 5th place, for a consecutive season.

Ahead of the 2009 season Hamrén brought several new players to Rosenborg, one of them being [[Rade Prica]], who Hamrén knew well from Aalborg. At the end of the season, Rosenborg won the league with 69 points, 13 points ahead of their nearest rival [[Molde FK]]. Rosenborg lost only one league game, a 3–2 loss against [[IK Start]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.dagsavisen.no/sport/article443810.ece|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220416113917/https://www.dagsavisen.no/sport/article443810.ece|url-status=dead|archive-date=16 April 2022|title=Rosenborg tapte på overtid|date=5 October 2009|publisher=Dagsavisen|language=no|access-date=13 November 2009}}</ref> Rosenborg had their run to the Double stopped by Molde in the cup's quarter final, losing 5–0.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.nrksport.no/fotball/nm/1.6724691|title=Molde ydmyket Rosenborg|last=Budalen|first=Andreas|date=9 August 2009|publisher=NRK sport|language=no|access-date=13 November 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091119011331/http://www.nrksport.no/fotball/nm/1.6724691|archive-date=19 November 2009|url-status=dead}}</ref> The club got their revenge in late September, when they defeated Molde in the league and by that secured their 21st league title.

On 20 May 2010 it was decided that Nils Arne Eggen would lead Rosenborg for the 2010 season. He took over after [[Erik Hamrén]] who went to be the Manager for the national team of Sweden. Erik Hamréns last match was a 2–1 away win against [[Viking FK]] on 24 May.

On 24 October 2010, Rosenborg won the league for the 22nd time after winning 1–0 against [[Tromsø IL]]. On 7 November, Rosenborg played the last league game of the season against Aalesund, ending in a 2–2 draw, which meant that they went unbeaten all season in the league competition.

[[Jan Jönsson]], whose contract with [[Stabæk Fotball|Stabæk]] ended after the 2010 season, was hired as head coach ahead of the 2011 season and he led the team for two seasons, where Rosenborg finishing third in the league and qualified for the Europe League group stage both years. However, the club was not happy with Jönsson's results as head coach and he was sacked on 7 December 2012.

=== Back to the roots project (2013–2014) ===

In the search for a new head coach, Per Joar Hansen was linked to Rosenborg, but the message was not well received from the supporters.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.dagbladet.no/2012/12/12/sport/fotball/rosenborg/tippeligaen/per_joar_hansen/24795703/|title="Nei til Perry" og "Hoftun må gå"|date=12 December 2012|newspaper=Dagbladet|language=no|access-date=18 February 2014}}</ref> Hansen's previous stay at Lerkendal ended poorly, and therefore many fans were skeptical of him as the replacement for Jan Jönsson. On 14 December 2012, Per Joar Hansen was confirmed as new head coach, with the ambition to take Rosenborg back to the top of the league.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.nrk.no/sport/per-joar-hansen-er-ny-rbk-trener-1.10841345|title=Per Joar Hansen er ny RBK-trener|date=14 December 2012|publisher=NRK|language=no|access-date=18 February 2014}}</ref> Hansen's first major modification was changing from Rosenborg's regular 4–4–2 to the more aggressive 4–3–3 as they played in the 90's, taking the team back to the roots.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.ba.no/sport/rixsport/article6464591.ece|title=Tilbake til røttene|date=26 January 2013|publisher=BA|language=no|access-date=18 February 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140223041226/http://www.ba.no/sport/rixsport/article6464591.ece|archive-date=23 February 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref>
Hansen's change of formation did not become well received when Rosenborg only scored three goals in their eight pre-season matches.
After half the season finished the team impressed everyone with great progress in the [[2013 Norwegian Football Cup|Norwegian Cup]], being 2nd in the [[2013 Tippeligaen|league]], and as expected progressing from the [[2013–14 UEFA Europa League qualifying phase and play-off round#First qualifying round|Europa League first qualifying round]] by beating [[Northern Ireland|Northern Irish]] [[Crusaders F.C.|Crusaders]], 2–1 away and ending with 7–2 victory at Lerkendal.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.t-a.no/sport/article7916849.ece#4|title=Rosenborg vant 7–2|date=11 July 2013|publisher=Trønder-Avisa|language=no|access-date=18 February 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140324032727/http://www.t-a.no/sport/article7916849.ece#4|archive-date=24 March 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref>

However, the beginning of the second half of the season shocked everyone when Rosenborg were surprisingly beaten by [[St Johnstone F.C.|St Johnstone]] in the [[2013–14 UEFA Europa League qualifying phase and play-off round#Second qualifying round|Europa League second qualifying round.]] [[Frazer Wright]]'s goal earned the Scottish side a memorable 1–0 victory in Norway before fighting back from an early goal to draw 1–1 at home. This was enough to secure a 2–1 aggregate victory for [[St Johnstone F.C.|St Johnstone]].
Rosenborg continued to gather points in the league, but were shocked when they lost to relegation threatened [[Tromsø IL|Tromsø]] in the 23rd round.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.t-a.no/sport/article8281567.ece|title=Første RBK-tap på nesten fem måneder|date=15 September 2013|publisher=Trønder-Avisa|language=no|access-date=18 February 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140225221726/http://www.t-a.no/sport/article8281567.ece|archive-date=25 February 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref> They finished in 2nd place, one point behind [[Strømsgodset Toppfotball|Strømsgodset]], mainly due to their performance at home.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.adressa.no/100Sport/fotball/eliteserien/article402381.snd|title=Mener gullet glapp hjemme|date=10 November 2013|publisher=Adressa|language=no|access-date=19 February 2014|archive-date=20 February 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140220223015/http://www.adressa.no/100Sport/fotball/eliteserien/article402381.snd|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Rosenborg had managed to enter the [[2013 Norwegian Football Cup|Cup Final]] against arch-rival [[Molde FK|Molde]]. This was Rosenborg's first Cup Final since [[2003 Norwegian Football Cup|2003]], when they beat [[Bodø/Glimt]] 3–1.
Unfortunately for Rosenborg, they lost the match 2–4 after leading 2–1.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.an.no/fotball/article7002511.ece|title=Molde ble cupmester|date=24 November 2013|publisher=Avisa Nordland|language=no|access-date=19 February 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140225055429/http://www.an.no/fotball/article7002511.ece|archive-date=25 February 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In June 2014, after a disappointing spring season with elimination from the Cup in the third round against [[Ranheim Fotball|Ranheim]], lack of stable performance in the league and an embarrassing defeat against [[Sligo Rovers F.C.|Sligo Rovers]] in the [[2014–15 UEFA Europa League|Europa League]], it was decided to fire head coach [[Per Joar Hansen]] and assistant coach Bård Wiggen.
Former Rosenborg player and assistant coach [[Kåre Ingebrigtsen]] was presented as temporary coach on 21 July 2014, and sports director [[Erik Hoftun]] was presented as assistant coach.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.tv2.no/a/5831286|title=Bekreftet: Ingebrigtsen tar over som RBK-trener|date=21 July 2014|publisher=TV2|language=no|access-date=24 July 2014}}</ref> Rosenborg played poorly in the first matches with the new coach, losing three of the first four with Kåre Ingebrigsten in charge. But the team redeemed themselves by winning nine of the last ten games in the season finishing in 2nd place, eleven points behind [[Molde FK|Molde]]. Ingebrigtsen's great performance led to him being introduced as the new permanent coach 20 November 2014.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.vg.no/sport/fotball/rosenborg/ingebrigtsen-jeg-er-stolt-og-ydmyk/a/23339917/|title=Ingebrigtsen:&nbsp;– Jeg er stolt og ydmyk|date=20 November 2014|publisher=NRK|language=no|access-date=2 August 2015}}</ref>

=== Success (2015–present) ===
Kåre Ingebrigsten's first major change was the amount of exercise the players should be susceptible to.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.nrk.no/sport/fotball/ingebrigtsen-kritisk-til-norsk-treningsfrykt-1.12323394|title=Ingebrigtsen kritisk til norsk treningsfrykt|date=22 April 2015|publisher=NRK|language=no|access-date=2 August 2015}}</ref> He had the same vision as former coach Hansen, but the players had to be able to perform better. During the previous two season, Rosenborg had a tendency to collective collapse in the last ten minutes of matches due to exhaustion. Ingebrigtsen decided therefore that the training would be increased by 40 percent, so that players would be able to finish matches and not let easy goals get scored against. The provision gave results immediately; Rosenborg scored 23 goals and let only two against in their first five pre-season matches.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.adressa.no/100Sport/fotball/forsesong/article498635.snd|title=Rosenborg har scoret 23 mål på fem kamper|date=6 March 2015|publisher=NRK|language=no|access-date=2 August 2015|archive-date=17 June 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150617043234/http://www.adressa.no/100Sport/fotball/forsesong/article498635.snd|url-status=dead}}</ref>

The [[2015 Tippeligaen|season]] saw Rosenborg win the title again. They made the play-off in the [[2015–16 UEFA Europa League|Europa League]], beating [[Debreceni VSC|Debrecen]] 3–2 in the first leg away in [[Hungary]]. As a result of Rosenborg's crowd pleasing play, the home spectator numbers increased by 31 percent from 13,922 to 18,239 on average.

At the end of the season Rosenborg won their 23rd title, finishing 12 points clear ahead of the second place Strømsgodset. On 22 November Rosenborg beat Sarpsborg 08 2–0 in the Cup final to win their 10th national cup and complete their 8th domestic Double.

In 2016 Rosenborg won both the league and the cup, and by doing so because the first team in Norway to win the double two consecutive seasons. This was Rosenborg's 9th domestic Double.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.rbk.no/news/article/toh9rvgxnbcq1tsntk8low9ea/title/helland-hattrick-i-historisk-cupseier |title=Nyheter &#124; Rosenborg |access-date=2016-11-21 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161120213210/http://www.rbk.no/news/article/toh9rvgxnbcq1tsntk8low9ea/title/helland-hattrick-i-historisk-cupseier |archive-date=20 November 2016 }}</ref>
