Rosenborg BK has contacted Eirik Horneland regarding the coaching position after Alfred Johansson was dismissed. The contact reportedly occurred before Johansson's firing, and it is uncertain whether Horneland wishes to return to the club. Birger Løfaldli believes Horneland could be a good solution for Rosenborg BK, as he has gained more experience since he last managed the club from 2019 to 2020. Horneland has had success with Brann and also has experience from French club Saint-Étienne. However, it has been reported that he has opportunities abroad, which may affect his interest in returning to Rosenborg BK. Alexander Tettey will temporarily lead the team moving forward, while Horneland will work as a World Cup expert for NRK this summer. Several other coaches, including Hans Erik Ødegaard and Kåre Ingebrigtsen, have also been mentioned as potential candidates for the position.
