It happens after Leif Gunnar Smerud was brought in as temporary national team manager for the next six games. At the time, it was not known who would continue to be part of the support apparatus, but now it is clear who he will bring with him.
Assistant coach Ingvild Stensland and goalkeeper coach Jon Knudsen are the only ones left from the previous support apparatus.
Bård Homstøl and Terje Skjeldestad have been brought into the team. There are two people with whom Smerud worked closely on the U-21 national team.
– We don’t have many days before we meet Austria and Portugal in the Nations League. Therefore, it has been extra important for me to build on the team that has been involved and at the same time get trainers in place who know my way of working from before, says Smerud in the press release.

The press release also states that Monica Knudsen is returning to her job as top club developer in the NFF.
Gunnvor Halmøy, who was a physical trainer for the national team in the WC, is employed as a physical trainer in Bodø/Glimt.
– We are very satisfied to continue with Monica in the NFF. The train in international women’s football is moving faster and faster, and we have to strengthen the structures on the women’s side if we are to keep up. With Monica’s expertise and experience, we will get a boost in this work, says general secretary Karl-Petter Løken.
PS! On Wednesday, the national team selection for the Nations League matches against Austria and Portugal will be presented.
