Gaute Helstrup goes to Bodø/Glimt – news Troms and Finnmark

– That is right. This morning we received word from Gaute that he has decided to go to Glimt. There is not much more to say about it. There have been no negotiations. We have only acknowledged that this is how it is, and then we have dealt with it, says the chairman of the board to news. Helstrup becomes assistant coach in Bodø/Glimt. The Tromsø coach signed a new contract with TIL this summer. – Lightning from the blue On Tuesday afternoon, hectic meeting activities are taking place in the TIL management to find out what needs to be done to replace Helstrup. On Christmas Eve, Gaute Helstrup was named “Tromsøværing of the Year”. The news and Helstrup are received with shock in the Forza Tromsø supporters’ club. – This is a shock. The news came like lightning from the blue. I don’t think anyone saw that coming. I just think people are a bit lost for words. Hard to really know what to think. But I think everyone in Forza and Tromsø is clear that we cannot bear to spend energy on those who do not want to be part of our club. This gives us even greater motivation to contribute for those who want to be there, says Forza leader Morten Killingberg to news. The Forza leader is not worried about the future of the club. – I feel the club is in a very good position. This is not something created by just one man. Gaute is now at a point where we will be able to bring in a new head coach who will have a full run-up and time to leave his mark on that team. I really have faith in the future of Killingberg for news. Gundersen also to Glimt And at the same time, Tromsø player Jostein Gundersen is transferring to Bodø/Glimt. This is confirmed by the Tromsø sports club. The 27-year-old’s contract with Tromsø expired at New Year’s, and he has therefore been able to freely negotiate with other clubs. Chairman Stig Bjørklund met the media on Tuesday afternoon.
