Magnus Andersson leaves FC Porto for Norway | OneFootball

Magnus Andersson’s connection to FC Porto, split across 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 to the Dragons also likely to follow soon. Andersson will succeed Norwegian coach Jonas Wille and will have Danish coach Henrik Kronborg, currently Aalborg’s assistant, as his deputy. The duo will have the task of turning around Norway’s most recent international results, after the latest World Championship and European Championship proved to be a real failure for the Norwegians on home soil, with 10th- and 9th-place finishes, respectively. This will not be the first national-team experience for the former center back from Sweden’s golden generation, as he already coached Austria in 2010/11.

At the Dragão, Magnus Andersson was coach for seven non-consecutive seasons, totaling 342 matches, with a record of 257 wins, 19 draws, and 66 defeats. His first spell was far more successful in terms of 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, where the team finished third. This season, the Dragons came close to repeating that European feat, but domestically, Sporting’s dominance was absolute.
