Tor Ole Skullerud (born 10 December 1970, Kongsvinger, Norway) is a Norwegian football manager and former player. [1][2]
Club career
Skullerud played for hometown club Kongsvinger IL Toppfotball, before turning out for Ready, Frigg, Grue IL, and Ullern IF Fotball.
Managerial career
Skullerud worked as a coach in Ullern IF Fotball and Bærum SK before taking over Norway's U-18 and U-19 teams. He was then appointed as assistant manager for Vålerenga, working under playing manager Martin Andresen. After being Per Joar Hansen's assistant in the under-21s, he took over as head coach in January 2013 after Hansen was appointed the new manager of Rosenborg.
He led Norway to the UEFA European Under-21 Championship in Israel. Norway was one of eight participating teams and finished second in their round with five points after a draw against the host nation Israel, a win against England and a draw with Italy. In the knockout phase, they faced eventual winners Spain, losing 3-0.
He was also briefly assistant coach under Per Mathias Høgmo with the men's national team. On 13 January 2014, he was presented as the head coach of Molde FK. Skullerud is also a UEFA Prolis which is the highest education of coaches in Norway. His first season with Molde was an instant success, taking both the league title and the Norwegian cup, as well as setting a new point record in the league. Skullerud was sacked on 6 August 2015.
Skullerud has been strongly linked to the vacant manager role at English League One side Swindon Town FC, recommended by compatriot Jan Åge Fjørtoft.
