Moss has for a number of years knocked on the gates of the Eliteserien and each time ended up outside. – Especially the end of the seasons in the OBOS league has been difficult. – Now Moss has brought in Brann assistant Ole Martin Nesselquist as the new head coach.
The change of coach came after Thomas Myhre, who has led Moss for the past four years, completed a personal promotion to the Eliteserien by signing for HamKam.
Moss Fotballklubb has today with pleasure announced that Ole Martin Nesselquist will take over as the new head coach of the A-team. The experienced coach comes to the club with a solid football foundation and a clear vision for further development.
