At the same time as Sandnes Ulf is leaving the OBOS League, head coach Steinar Nilsen is leaving the southern village. – Already this summer, Sandnes Ulf was in crisis and Steinar Nilsen, who has not worked as a coach since he left Tromsø since 2015, was surprisingly brought in as a rescuer.

12 games later with a PPM of 0.50, Sandnes Ulf is ready for relegation.

“Steinar Nilsen has informed the group of players that he will return home in the middle of next week. The plan has always been that this was a short-term project. He came in to turn the situation around and for us to keep our place, but unfortunately he has not been able to do that2 says general manager Øystein Elvestad Sandnes Ulf to Stavanger Aftenbladavisen.

“He has tackled a lot of things, and we thank him for an honest attempt,” says Elvestad.

Sandnes Ulf will face Egersund on Saturday in the last game of the season.
