Earlier this summer, Riise led the J19 national team to the European Championship final, where it ended with silver for the Norwegian girls.  &#8211; We are proud to be able to present a new national team manager who can boast incredible results both as a player and coach, and who knows better than anyone the competition that meets us out there.  Hege&#8217;s coaching profile and playing style principles are well rooted in Norway&#8217;s football culture and the NFF&#8217;s sports plan, while she has good experience that modern football also requires flexibility in the game, an ability to surprise opponents, says football president Lise Klaveness in a press release.  In just a few weeks, she will lead the team for the first time.  The World Cup qualification then ends with an away match against Belgium on 2 September and at home against Albania four days later.  With a draw or a win against Belgium, Norway is ready for next year&#8217;s WC.  &#8211; Being able to lead Norway&#8217;s A national team is the greatest, and I am proud and happy to be trusted to lead the team and the team.  I am very much looking forward to taking on the challenge, says Hege Riise in the same press release.  She thus does not get enough time to get to know the playing squad before the seriousness breaks loose.  &#8211; It will be hectic, but we will use the time now to prepare for the first matches.  Our starting point is good with group leadership and I expect that there will be a group eager for revenge after the EC.  As I understand it, there is still a good atmosphere in the player group.  We will build on that, continues the new national team manager.  On Tuesday, football president Lise Klaveness did not want to say much about the work with the new Norwegian national team manager.  &#8211; We are in the process of finding a new national team manager and a new team, that&#8217;s the only thing I can say now, Klaveness told news.  &#8211; When can we expect the new national team manager to be ready?  &#8211; Everything in this work is kept internal until we are completely on target, she followed up.  Late last week, Riise claimed to news that she knew nothing about her own candidacy for the position and that it was &#8220;holiday time&#8221;.  &#8211; I don&#8217;t want to comment on anything about it.  I have seen that there are lots of printers, but there will be printers, answered Riise to news&#8217;s \u200b\u200bquestion about the job.  English pride Riise has a long career as a coach and has experience from, among other things, LSK women, the American national team and the job as substitute coach for England during last year&#8217;s Olympics.  There she made a good impression and the recently crowned European champions are full of praise for Riise.  &#8211; Hege has a lot of experience and we respect her a lot for what she has done as a player and what she has meant for her country.  I think that experience is one of the best things she will contribute, said England captain Leah Williamson to news during the EC.  Chelsea star Fran Kirby believes Riise will immediately gain respect in the Norwegian playing group based on the merits she brings.  &#8211; I didn&#8217;t get to work with her for as long as we wanted during the Olympics.  I am sure that she will go there (the Norwegian national team job) with new ideas and mindset and will contribute something new to the team.  If she gets the job, I&#8217;m sure she&#8217;ll contribute something else, said Kirby.  &#8211; If you listen to Riise, she also has 58 goals in 188 games for the Norwegian national team, and WC, EC and Olympic gold are among the achievements she can boast of.  The English players describe Riise as a &#8220;good lady&#8221; who they quickly fell in love with. &#8211; She is very calm, restrained and collected.  She is a thinking person, but someone you listen to when she talks.  We were all very fond of her when she coached the British team, said back star Lucy Bronze.  Riise herself thought it was very nice to hear praise from former subjects.  &#8211; It&#8217;s very nice, absolutely.  It ended abruptly and everyone went their separate ways and I haven&#8217;t spoken to them since, so it was nice, said Riise about the English statements.<br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nrk.no\/sport\/bekreftet_-hege-riise-blir-norges-nye-landslagssjef-1.16044745\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ttn-69 <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>She is joined by Monica Knudsen, Ingvild Stensland and Jon Knudsen in the coaching team.
