Asked Chat GTP for a couple of leftfield suggestions, this one sounds interesting


Kjetil Knutsen is a Norwegian football manager currently leading Bodø/Glimt, where he has achieved remarkable success since taking charge in 2018. Under his leadership, the club won their first-ever Norwegian league title in 2020 with an outstanding record, including 103 goals and only one defeat, and followed it up with another league title in 2021. His tactics emphasize high pressing, wing overloads, and a style reminiscent of Jurgen Klopp’s gegenpressing, combined with a focus on passing triangles and possession-based football. Knutsen's methods also include mental toughness training, integrating a mental coach to ensure his players remain psychologically strong


Knutsen has made waves in European competitions, most notably defeating Jose Mourinho’s Roma 6-1 in the Europa Conference League and reaching the quarter-finals of the 2021/22 season. He has been linked with clubs in more prominent leagues, such as Brighton, Southampton, and Burnley, reflecting his growing reputation as a forward-thinking and adaptable coach

Given his proven track record of improving teams, cultivating a strong mentality, and employing dynamic tactics, Knutsen could be an exciting fit for Coventry City, particularly if the club seeks a progressive manager to implement a long-term vision

Just watched a press conference he did (in English) on YT.
Impressive. Same vibe I got from watching Viveash’s first interview during L1 winning season . Charisma, and that steely eyed determination.

And his style of football is brilliant to watch, outsmarted Jose, his team beat Roma 6-1 and Ange, would welcome him as head coach over lampard, I just hope DK has considered him

Ajax tried for him but couldn’t agree terms, he apparently gets a % of player sales so it’s going to take more than a bottom half Championship club to tempt him.

Still worth going for him, if he says no then it's no but he might see something he likes in us, a good young squad that's exciting, wanting prem football, clubs facilities really good.

Our club is an attractive proposition and it could happen, Deadly Doug can be persuasive 😂

Knutsen sounds like a 1980s Cov Bees legend. but he is exactly the sort of manager we should be speaking to. Whilst PL opportunity is incredibly tempting Bodo/Glimt are 12th in Europa league above Man Utd. Doubt he would come to us sadly.

If we win tonight, I’d say save the money for a bit longer. Its a big decision and we don’t want some expensive media darling for the sake of it. We need someone who can turn the sows ear into something somewhat better!

Totally agree.
Two strong performances under Carr so far. Another one tonight and it'll begin to look like a serious rethink is a no brainer and Lampard will look even more of an expensive risk.
