Trond Andersen (born January 6, 1975 in Kristiansund ) is a former Norwegian football player and now coach . In 2008 he had to end his playing career due to an injury.

As a national player of Norway , he took part in the European Football Championship 2000 in Belgium and the Netherlands .

Club career

Career start

Andersen began his career at the small Kristiansund training club Clausenegen FK, where he played with Ole Gunnar Solskjær , among others .

In 1996 their paths crossed again when Andersen signed his first professional contract with the then Norwegian top team Molde FK , which at that time had two other players from Clausenegener youth teams under contract with Arild Stavrum and Solskjær.

In his debut year he was able to fight for a regular place in defense and celebrate the runner-up title in the Tippeligaen . In the following season, the fall into midfield of the league followed before they found themselves back in the title fight in 1997, despite the sales of the then feared "Drei-S-Sturm", Stavrum - Solskjær - Sundgot . With the two runner-up championships in the 1998 and 1999 seasons, the upward trend was prolonged. Andersen, who has now matured to become a Norwegian national player, was credited with a large share of the success, which was also evident from those interested in a transfer abroad.

Four seasons at Wimbledon

For the 1999/00 season , Wimbledon FC was awarded the contract and Andersen moved to the Premier League . Under the then Wimbledon trainer Egil Olsen , who, in addition to Andersen with Kjetil Wæhler , Tore Pedersen , Martin Andresen and Molde team-mate Andreas Lund , had signed 5 Norwegians for the new season, Andersen once again achieved a regular place. As a result, the club started the season well, but soon found itself in the relegation battle. Of the 5 Norwegian new signings, only Andersen was able to convince and kept his regular place even after Olsen was released. With a 2-0 defeat on the last day of the match against Southampton FC , however, they gambled away their relegation and after 8 years in the Premier League had to start the bitter step into the second division.

One league below the next disaster followed. Having started the season with the clear goal of immediate promotion, they found themselves briefly in the relegation battle in Division One. Although the team stabilized over the course of the season, they had nothing to do with the promotion and took the disappointing 8th place in the table. In contrast to most of his teammates, Andersen had an excellent season and scored 5 goals from the game as a defender. There followed a few contract offers to the player, but the Wimbledon veto failed. In the next two seasons, the team found themselves in the no man's land of the league without having anything to do with promotion to the Premier League.

Defense chief in Denmark

After his contract expired, Andersen subsequently decided to transfer to the Danish first division club Aalborg BK . In his debut season he led the team to the Danish Cup final , where they had to admit defeat to FC København . In the following two seasons Aalborg played in the top field of the league, but without being able to play for the title in the Superligaen. Andersen was considered the conductor of the defense and became a crowd favorite of the fans. In the 2005/06 season he had bad luck with injuries for the first time and was only able to play 7 league games. When he came out of convalescence, he announced shortly before the end of the summer transfer window that he would be moving to league rivals Brøndby IF the following season , which earned him a lot of criticism from the club. As a reason for the change, Andersen stated that he wanted to play for the championship title and at European level, which he could do better at Brøndby.

In his first year as defense organizer of Brøndby, he was with the club at the top of the table for a long time until he sustained a serious knee injury in April 2006 and was out for a long time due to injury. Brøndby then lost the last championship games and was only runner-up behind FC København.

In the following season it took Andersen a long time to come out of convalescence before he made his league comeback for 5 games. Then the injury became acute again and Andersen was out for the rest of the season. After he was no longer fit in the 2007/08 season, he officially ended his career in March 2007.

National team

As a player from Clausenegen FK, traditionally the focus of the Norwegian youth scouting concept, he was active on the international level from the U-17 national team . In the Norwegian U-21 team he was an indispensable part of the team from 1996 to 1998 and came to a total of 30 missions with one goal.

A year later he made his debut under the newly appointed former U-21 coach Nils Johan Semb on March 20, 1999 in the 6-0 win against Jamaica in the senior team .

As a result, he made it to Norway's final squad for the 2000 European Football Championship in Belgium and the Netherlands , but he was not used in any of the three preliminary round matches.

After that he was a regular player in qualifying for the 2004 European Football Championship in Greece and the 2006 World Cup in Germany . However, Norway could not qualify for either tournament.

On April 20, 2005, he completed his last international game during the 2-0 away defeat against Estonia . Overall, he completed 38 international matches without scoring for Norway between 1999 and 2005.

Coaching career

After starting his coaching career at Lyn Oslo in 2013 in the youth division, he took over the club's senior team, which was then in the Norwegian third division, in the 2015 season. After a false start to the season, he was released after six months. Since December 2015 he has been working as a youth coach at Bærum SK again.
