Where is Henning Berg now?
Former Blackburn Rovers and Manchester United defender Henning Berg called time on his career in 2004 after a season playing in Scotland with Rangers.
Featuring in over 400 games over an 18-year period, Berg was the first person to win the Premier League title with two different clubs – once with Blackburn and twice with United. He also won a second title with the Reds along with the FA Cup and the UEFA Champions League as well as the League Cup with Rovers.
He was also an important part of the talented Norway international side of the 1990’s winning 100 caps and featuring in the 1994 and 1998 FIFA World Cup finals as well as the 2000 UEFA European Championships.
Upon retiring from playing, Berg was offered a managerial post back in his native Norway at top-tier side Lyn where he spent three years before moving to his former club Lillestrom in 2009. Unfortunately after a string of poor results he was relieved of his position in 2011.
He then spent time working as a pundit on Norwegian television before joining former side Blackburn Rovers as their new manager replacing the sacked Steve Kean. Taking over an already struggling team he was sacked after 57 days after registering just one victory in 10 games.
In April 2013 he was awarded £2.25 million after taking the club to court for non-payment of wages.
Berg then spent a short period as a scout for Norwich City before joining Legia Warsaw as head coach where he won the league title in his first season but was sacked after a very slow to the 2015-16 season.
In May 2016, Berg made a return to football management when he was appointed as head coach of Hungarian side Videoton but despite a great season where his side were challenging for the title until the very last weekend, he left at the end of season by mutual consent.
In 2019 Berg was appointed manager of Cypriot first division side AC Omonia and guided them to their first league title in eleven years in his first season at the club. However, after a dismal 2021/22 campaign he was sacked in February 2022.
Staying in Cyprus, he joined rival side side Pafos FC just three months later and enjoyed a 13-match undefeated run at the start of the season before a terrible run of form which culminated in his sacking in April 2023.
He wasn’t out of football coaching for long and in the summer of 2023 joined current side AIK who play in Allsvenskan, which is the top flight of Swedish football.
