Åge Fridtjof Hareide (23 September 1953 – 18 December 2025) was a Norwegian football player and coach. In his playing career, he played for Hødd and Molde in Norway as well as Manchester City and Norwich City in England. Hareide was capped 50 times playing for Norway. In his coaching career he managed multiple clubs, as well as the national teams of Norway, Denmark, and Iceland.

As a coach, Hareide won league titles in all of the Scandinavian countries,[1] In Sweden with Helsingborgs IF in 1999 and with Malmö FF in 2014, in Denmark with Brøndby in 2001–02 and in his native Norway with Rosenborg in 2003. Hareide was in charge of the Norway national team from 2003 to 2008. While at Malmö during his first time in charge at the club, he notably took the team to the modern-day UEFA Champions League group stages for the first two times in the club's history. He coached Denmark to a round of 16 finish at the 2018 FIFA World Cup before appointed coach of Iceland in 2023. Following his time with Iceland, he announced his retirement from coaching.

Playing career

During his playing career, Hareide played for Hødd, Molde, Manchester City and Norwich City.[2] When Hareide made his debut for Manchester City on 24 October 1981, he became only the second Norwegian player (after Einar Aas) to play in the English top division.[3]

He was also an active player for the Norway national team between 1976 and 1986, scoring five goals in 50 matches.[4] Among the highlights of Hareide's international career was the 2–1 victory against England in a 1981 World Cup qualifier,[5] and the 3–1 win against Yugoslavia in a 1983 European Championship qualifier where Hareide scored the second goal.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

Coaching career

As a coach Hareide has won three European countries' national league championships, namely that of Denmark, Sweden and his native Norway, making him the only coach to have won the league in three Scandinavian countries. Other coaches who have won league titles in three countries include fellow Scandinavians Trond Sollied and Sven-Göran Eriksson, while Ernst Happel, Giovanni Trapattoni, José Mourinho and Carlo Ancelotti have won championships in four countries.

Early managerial career

In the mid-1990s, Norwegian millionaires Kjell Inge Røkke and Bjørn Rune Gjelsten were reportedly interested in bringing Hareide back to Manchester City as manager if their bid to take over the club was successful, but the takeover bid failed and Hareide never returned to the club. When the pair tried to take over Leeds United around the same time, it was once again reported that Hareide would be installed as manager if the takeover bid succeeded, but this bid too failed and Hareide was never put in charge at Elland Road. However, the pair finally succeeded in a takeover bid for fellow English Premier League club Wimbledon in June 1997, and Hareide appeared all set to become the new manager of the club in a move that would have ousted the incumbent Joe Kinnear. But this never happened either.[6]

Norway

Hareide was employed as the coach of the Norway national football team at the end of 2003, replacing Nils Johan Semb, after one season as coach of Rosenborg. On 8 December 2008, after having failed to take Norway to any international tournaments, and having had a bad start to the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign, Hareide resigned from his position as national team coach of Norway. On 9 December 2008, Hareide announced that he was stepping down as coach of the Norway national team.[7]

On 10 June 2009, it was announced that he would be coaching Örgryte. On 1 December 2009, the former Norway national team head coach left the Swedish club to join Viking, from Stavanger to replace Uwe Rösler.[8] Following Egil Østenstad resignation as director of football in Viking, Viking announced in September 2011 that Hareide would be manager of Viking,[9] and that Josep Clotet Ruiz would be hired as coach from the 2012-season onwards,[10] similar to the organization English clubs and Molde have, with Ole Gunnar Solskjær as manager and Mark Dempsey as coach.[11] Viking finished 9th in 2010, Hareide's first season, and 11th in 2011.[12] With the team positioned on 10th place on 9 June 2012, Hareide was released by Viking because of the bad results.[13]

Second spell at Helsingborg

Following Conny Karlsson's resignation in Helsingborgs IF, the club hired Hareide, the last coach who won Allsvenskan with Helsingborgs IF, except Karlsson, as head coach until the end of the 2012 season.[14]

Malmö FF

Hareide was brought out of retirement from his managerial career by being appointed the new manager of the reigning Swedish champions Malmö FF on 9 January 2014.[15] He had immediate success at the club as he led the team to defend their Allsvenskan title and qualify for the group stage of the 2014–15 UEFA Champions League in his first season.[16][17] For this successful season Hareide was awarded Allsvenskan manager of the year.[18] He was also nominated for coach of the year at Svenska idrottsgalan.[19]

Denmark

On 10 December 2015, Hareide was announced as the new manager of the Denmark national football team replacing Morten Olsen, who had stepped down following the UEFA Euro 2016 qualification. Hareide began his new job on 1 March 2016.[20] In November 2017, he managed his Denmark team to qualification for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. This was achieved with a 5-1 aggregate play-off win over Ireland.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
