LEGENDARY Norwegian manager Nils Arne Eggen has passed away, مسن 80.
The former Rosenborg and Norway national team coach is one of his country’s greatest ever footballing icons.

“A fantastic personality that I loved to be around. RIP.”
And Rosenborg BK also paid homage to their former manager with a statement saying: “It was with sorrow that Rosenborg today received the message that the club’s greatest legend is dead.
