It costs a lot for Molde to get back to the top of Norwegian football after a season far below the club’s goals.
Molde’s ambition is to be a top club in the Nordic region. – Just before Christmas, the club chose to fire Erling Moe, who has been with the club for over ten years and head coach since 2018. Per-Mathias Høgmo suggested that Molde should go to Kristiansund and persuade Ole Gunnar Solkjær to come back to the club, but then it was he himself who landed the very well-paid job.

Per-Mathias was the person who hit the most points and scored the highest on the criteria we set for our new coach. He stood out early on, and through good and clarifying conversations, we became convinced that he is the right person to take Molde Football Club to the next level, says chairman Odd Ivar Moen to Molde’s pages.
BK Häcken’s gold coach Per Mathias Høgmo was linked to Swedish clubs, but chose Molde FK. The football channel can reveal that the 65-year-old will earn very well, especially if they come to play in Europe.
