Holder of a Master's degree in international law, I realized at the end of my university career that it was important to evolve in a field that you appreciate. Overnight, I decided to put an end to my parents' dream, who saw in me a future lawyer, to make a living from my passion: sport. Since then, I have covered transfer windows and sports news, trying to keep readers informed as best as possible.
ASSE holds Olivier Dall'Oglio's successor. An agreement has reportedly been reached with Eirik Horneland, who has just resigned from SK Brann, the reigning double vice-Champion of Norway. Formerly of the Greens, Ben Karamoko had the opportunity to evolve under the orders of the technician in Haugesund. He notes some similarities with Diego Simeone, coach of Atlético.
L’ASSE knows his coach for 2025. Responsible for the training center, Laurent Huard should lead his team in the 32nd final of French Cup this Saturday before giving way to Eirik Horneland. Free since his departure from SK Fire a few days ago, the Norwegian technician reached an agreement with ASSE. All that remains is to sign the contract, which should be done in the coming days. Former of Greens, Ben Karamo has known Hornland has Haugesund. He tells.
The Horneland method is deciphered
« Eirik is very close to his players, very frank and very fair with them. He's not afraid to bench his best player if he doesn't make the effort. This is the image I remember of him, he is a coach who says things clearly, without embellishment. He's someone who gives a lot of voice, who moves a lot. I think we will like him at Sainté but we will have to give him a little time because there is the language barrier. This barrier is the only thing that scares me a little because for the rest, how to manage a group, a locker room, that will do it I think! » declared the player in an interview with Square Posts.
“He’s crazy! »
In his character, Hornland gets closer to Diego Simeone, at the head of the’Atlético. « Eirik lives the matches to the fullest, a bit like Diego Simeone. Sometimes I said to myself: “He’s crazy! »I don't know if he's still like that because we mustn't forget that it was the first time he was the number one coach of a professional team. Haugesund was a bit like “his club”; he finished his playing career there, he began his reconversion as an assistant coach before returning there when I knew him as a number, knowing that in the meantime he was coach of Norwegian youth teams » he declared. Will he obtain the same track record and the same longevity as the Spanish coach? Time will tell.
