Life
Aðalsteinn played in the 1996/1997 season for the then German regional league club TSG Balingen , but he had to end his sports career because of a knee injury.

FC Nürnberg Handball, trained by Herbert Müller . Through contacts with Müller took Adalsteinn Eyjólfsson 2004 as coach of the German Handball League Women playing TuS women . After his relegation to the 2nd Bundesliga, he returned to Iceland in 2005 and trained again until 2008 for the UMF Stjarnan's women's team, which under his leadership won the Icelandic championship in 2007 and 2008.
