""He was a huge success in Haugesund and at Brann before he moved to France and what impressed me then was the level of intensity in the play of the team," Stavrum told BBC Scotland."
""In Norway, he has been fantastic at a couple of clubs and has been not so good at Rosenborg," Stavrum said."
""Rosenborg is kind of a team that clings on to the past and, if any trainer is a bit different than they used to be in the 90s, when they were really good, then I think it is a problem for that coach.""
""He had a tough time at Rosenborg, but a lot of people understood that - that it was not an easy job to take and a lot of good managers have struggled in Rosenborg in the last few years, so that didn't harm him too much.""
Eirik Horneland left Saint-Étienne on 1 February while the club sat fourth in France's second tier and is a leading candidate for Aberdeen's managerial vacancy. He enjoyed three successful years at Brann with back-to-back second-place league finishes and a Norwegian Cup victory. Horneland began his coaching career after a playing spell as a defender with Haugesund, guiding Haugesund to strong league finishes and working with Norway's under-19 squad. He led Rosenborg to third place and Europa League qualification in 2019 but resigned after a poor start in 2020. Arild Stavrum praises Horneland's intensity and overall suitability for Scottish football despite mixed results at Rosenborg.
