Career
society
Steinar Pedersen started his career in 1994 in his hometown at Start Kristiansand. In his early days he quickly became a regular player and played a total of 54 league games in three seasons. After Pedersen had to accept relegation with his club at the end of the 1996 season, he moved to the then reigning German champions Borussia Dortmund in July 1996 . There he only enjoyed short appearances, a total of three until the winter break and two appearances in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League against Atlético Madrid and Steaua Bucharest . In January 1997 Pedersen was loaned back to Norway to Lillestrøm SK by the end of the year . There he was able to recommend himself for the starting line-up and completed 24 league games without a goal by the end of the loan period. But even after the loan period, Pedersen could not find a connection in Dortmund, after a league game as a substitute on the last match day of the 1997/98 season against FC Bayern Munich (0: 4), he moved to the Swedish club IFK Göteborg for the 1999 season .
After three seasons in Gothenburg, where he was sometimes used more often and sometimes not as regularly, he moved back to his home club Start Kristiansand for the 2002 season. However, the team rose to the Adeccoligaen this year . Already in 2004 Kristiansand managed to rise again and the 2005 season they finished second in the table in the Norwegian top division. When Pedersen and his team were relegated again after the 2007 season, he moved to Lillestrøm SK. After a loan at Strømsgodset Toppfotball in 2009 and over 100 appearances for Lillestrøm, Pedersen last moved to Start Kristiansand in 2012 to end his career there. He played his last league game on November 11, 2012 in the 1: 2 defeat at Notodden FK on the last day of the 2012 season , made the promotion with Kristiansand perfect and then ended his active career.
National team
Pedersen completed in 2006 under the then coach Åge Hareide an international match for the Norwegian national football team in the 5-0 defeat against the USA , but this was his only one.
Trainer
Steinar Pedersen began his coaching career in 2014 at FK Jerv from the southern Norwegian city of Grimstad . The year before, Jerv had been promoted from the 3rd division (fourth level) to the so-called Oddsenligaen . Already in Pedersen's first year as a coach, the next promotion was achieved for Jerv. From 2015 they played in the second highest league, the so-called OBOS-Ligaen (called Adecco-Ligaen until 2013). The following season was also very successful. Jerv narrowly missed promotion to the highest Norwegian league . As fifth in the table, the club qualified for the promotion games. In the first two rounds he prevailed against fellow competitors in the OBOS league ( Kristiansund , Hødd and Ranheim ). In the decisive relegation game against the third from last in the first division, Start Kristiansand, they lost out. After 1-1 at home, Jerv lost the second leg 1-3. Steinar Pedersen still managed to climb. From January 1, 2016, of all places, he was signed with the relegation opponent Start.
His time as a coach at Start Kristiansand wasn't really successful. In 2016, in its first season, Start was only able to record its first victory in the league on matchday 25. The season's record was a meager two wins, ten draws and eighteen losses. Start was by far last in the table and was relegated. Despite the miserable record, the coach was not withdrawn from trust. In order to avert a financial bankruptcy, the club had to sell almost every player who could bring in money in recent years. He now saw the cause of the relegation in the lack of resources and not in the coach.
In 2017, Start established itself in the top group of the second highest league. Five game days before the end of the season, Pedersen and his team, as second in the table, had a direct promotion place. At the end of the season Start also managed to move up, but Steinar Pedersen was no longer in the last five games. He was unexpectedly released on September 29, 2017.
Since August 2018 he has been a coach at the third division Arendal Fotball .
Others
Pedersen is the brother of Kjetil Pedersen , who was also a soccer player and played for LASK Linz , among others . Both are sons of Erik Ruthford Pedersen , who played as a goalkeeper at Start Kristiansand and later worked as a coach.
