Vålerenga has not won in six games and is currently in 11th place. Hamkam and Thomas Myhre have started the season strongly and are currently in 6th place. The game was Oslo's first since the departure of head coach Geir Bakke. Petter Myhre, Bakke's assistant, has temporarily taken over the team. The first game under his leadership ended in defeat. Vålerenga chose to fire Geir Bakke as head coach on Thursday. Football expert Lars Tjærnås was not kind to Vålerenga after the news. He asks why the club is a "graveyard" for so many talented people over such a long time. Vålerenga's sports director, Joacim Jonsson, dismissed the criticism. – I'm not entirely in agreement with the statement, but we're a bit on expectations and expectations. Expectations are higher than expectations. I think many are very unaware of what the expectations are, Jonsson told VG. It is still unclear who will take over Bakke's job on a permanent basis. KFUM coach Johannes Moesgaard, who has a past in VIF, has been mentioned as the hottest candidate for the job. In an interview with VG, Moesgaard was talkative, but not about this. – Yes, I don't know. It has not been on the table for me yet, Moesgaard said.
