– We can confirm that he will be our new head coach, says the daily manager of Vipers-Kristiansand, Per Geir Løvstad to news. The coach came from Russian Rostov Donn to Vipers last year. He is an assistant coach at Vipers today. – He has a good background and has coached big teams in Europe and has a good relationship with the players in Vipers, says the Vipers manager. Now he takes over from Ole Gustav Gjekstad, as head coach at the club. It was VG who mentioned the appointment first. Gjekstad is in his last season as Vipers coach. He will coach Danish Odense next season. Gjekstad has led Vipers to a number of titles during his time in Vipers. The two highlights are gold in the Champions League. In other words, the new coach has big shoes to fill. – Of course he has. But we think he is capable of tolerating the pressure. But it takes something to have the same success, says Løvstad and emphasizes that the club’s ambitions are fixed. The club will fight at the top in Europe and win the league, cup and play-offs at home in Norway. Vipers have been hunting for a new coach for several months. Løvstad explains the use of time as follows: – We have spoken to many current candidates. Tomas has been involved in the discussion the whole time, says Løvstad. Vipers can secure the series gold in the elite series if they take points away against Storhamar on Wednesday evening.
