Nils Arne Eggen

Nils Arne Eggen (born September 17, 1941 in Orkdal, Sør-Trøndelag, Norway) is one of the most winning coaches in the history of Norwegian football. He is best known as the manager for Rosenborg B.K. in the period 1988–97 and 1999–2002 (he had a year off in 1998, when Trond Sollied stepped in as manager). This period is often referred to as "The Golden Age" for the club.

Nils Arne resigned as manager for Rosenborg in 2002, and Åge Hareide took over as manager (who in turn was succeeded by Ola By Rise only a year later). Two of Nils Arne's last achievement was winning the Norwegian Premier Division (11th time in a row), and qualifying for the European UEFA Champions League (8th time in a row).

After a somewhat turbulent year for Rosenborg B.K. in 2004, he was once again appointed by the club in November 2004 – this time as assistant manager/counsellor, a position he later stepped down from in 2005, when he admitted that his role hadn't worked as planned.
