Olav Nysæter

In November 2007, Nysæter replaced Åge Steen as sporting director at Kongsvinger. In December 2007, after only 34 days in the job, he threatened to leave the position due to the club's poor economy and lack of ambitions. However, Nysæter continued and explained this with communicative misunderstandings. He left the position in 2008 and was replaced by Morten Kristiansen.
