TRONDHEIM, norway (Dagbladet): the Former Rosenborg coach Kare Ingebrigtsen did not believe his own ears when he got fired last summer. The dismissal came in a meeting with the chairman Ivar Koteng and director Rune Bratseth 19. July.
– I thought we should talk about a spillerovergang. Andrew Hjulsager from Celta Vigo was a player we had talked about. When I got in there I was face to face with Ivar, set also Bratseth in the room. It surprised me. It was the first time in four years that I was in a meeting with the Bratseth, told Spoken in the South-Trøndelag district court today.
We sat and talked resolved and fixed. About what we did in the holidays. So said Ivar, that he wanted to terminate the employment relationship with me. I did not believe what I heard. But I looked at them that it was not kødd. I was completely numb and just had to get me out of the room, said Ingebrigtsen.

I got up and started to walk. Then asked Ivar about how we should convey this. I said that there are so many ways to convey it on. Then they had to ask at a press conference. “You can say you have drawn to you because you are tired”, said Ivar. Then I replied: “You kicking me and shit no balls to say it.” After that, I was standing outside and ask what on earth it was that happened.
Together with his former assistant, Erik Hoftun, he has gone to the case against Rosenborg for what they believe is invalid termination. Ingebrigtsen requires payment for lost base salary and bonus until the contract ran out, 31. December 2020.
Total it is a question of an amount up to 10,75 million for Ingebrigtsens part. In Hoftuns the case is there to talk about 2,75 million. With the trial want the two to illuminate the fotballtreneres stillingsvern.
In the district court today told Spoken that he and Koteng had a good relationship. He was – according to Ingebrigtsen – never indications that trenerjobben hung by a thread:
We had regular meetings. Maybe around five times a year. Where talking about football and other things. The first meeting with Ivar I had in 2015. It was also the only meeting Erik (Hoftun) was, together with Ivar and me.
Ingebrigtsen continued:
– Ivar is say the least a morning person. He stands up in the four-five time in the morning – and have lots of energy in the sjutida. He thought we (Rosenborg) is going to work out in the sjutida in the morning. We tried it once with Nils Arne Eggen.

Usually coach the teams in the top division of the morning. In court the said Ingebrigtsen also another suggestion Koteng came with:
When we were setting up the wall, he suggested to have two walls with a gap in between. On the way, the goalie have a clear view of the ball. We discussed players, treningshverdag and that we had to use the edges more. We had a damn good relationship. We discussed the never high. We gave each other a pat on the back as we walked out of the meetings.
Also on the first meeting after the holidays in the summer of 2018 shall have passed the convivial. Rosenborg had come late in the series, and Koteng was wondering what grip Ingebrigtsen and co. would take:
Great. It was exactly what I wanted to hear, should have been the answer from Koteng after the report.
Under the one month later got Ingebrigtsen fired.
