Under Berg’s leadership, Larnaca finished fourth in the Cypriot league this season. The 55-year-old Norwegian took over the coaching responsibilities in the summer of 2023 after resigning from his position as head coach of Swedish AIK.
Berg has a broad coaching experience from several European leagues. During his career, he has been in charge of, among others, Pafos FC, Omonia Nikosia, Stabæk, Videoton, Legia Warsaw, Blackburn Rovers, Lillestrøm SK and Lyn Oslo.
