Where is John Arne Riise now?
Former Liverpool FC and Fulham legend John Arne Riise finally hung his boots up on a distinguished club career in 2016 after a two-month spell playing in the Indian Super League with Chennaiyin FC.
During his playing days, he amassed an impressive trophy haul including the Ligue 1 title with Monaco, the Cypriot First Division title with APOEL and of course the UEFA Champions League, two UEFA Super Cups, the FA Cup and also the League Cup with Liverpool.
Alongside his club achievements, Riise was also a mainstay in the Norway national side for 13 years winning a record 110 international caps and scoring 16 goals.
Upon retiring from playing, Riise took 12 months out of the game before announcing that he was returning with a new career as a player’s agent stating on Twitter ‘I’ve been on both sides of the table and I look forward to help players fulfill their potential and give them guidance throughout their career’.
In 2019 he returned to football when he was appointed as sporting director of Maltese side Birkirkara FC but he resigned three months later for personal reasons.
Later that year he made his first foray into coaching when he was appointed as head coach of Norwegian Third Division side Flint Tonsberg but left at the end of the 2021 season after relegation to the Fourth Division.
In 2021 Riise was appointed in his current role as head coach of Norwegian ladies side Avaldsnes.
