Magnus Andersson leaves FC Porto for Norway | OneFootball

Magnus Andersson’s connection with FC Porto, divided into two spells, has come to an end, and the coach will now take charge of Norway. The Swede is expected to be presented in the coming days, with a farewell from the Dragons also expected soon. Andersson will succeed Norwegian coach Jonas Wille and will have Danish coach Henrik Kronborg, currently Aalborg’s assistant, by his side. The duo will have the mission of turning around Norway’s recent international results, after the most recent World Championship and European Championship were a real failure for the hosts, who finished tenth and ninth, respectively. This will not be the first experience for the former central back of Sweden’s golden generation with a national team, as he already coached Austria in 2010/11.

At the Dragão, Magnus Andersson coached over seven non-consecutive seasons, totaling 342 matches, with a record of 257 wins, 19 draws, and 66 defeats. His first spell was far richer in titles, with four league championships (2018/19, 2020/21, 2021/22, and 2022/23), two Portuguese Cups (2018/19 and 2020/21), and two Super Cups (2019/20 and 2021/22), as well as the European highlight of Portugal’s first-ever appearance in the EHF Cup final four, which ended in third place. This season, the Dragons came close to repeating that European feat, but domestically, Sporting’s dominance was absolute.
