We have the great pleasure to introduce Stein Morten Hansen as our new player developer and goalkeeping coach at Mallorca Toppfotball. He will also have the role as an assistant coach for our Spanish club F.C. Mallorca Toppfotball.
– Stein Morten Hansen came into our system as a player back in 2012 and has since then, always had important roles in the academies at Mallorca. He has done a very solid job for us for several years and have had combined roles as a coach / player development / goalkeeping coach in Spain earlier, Sports Director Leif Tsolis says.
Mallorca Toppfotball again shows that continuity and recruitment is one of the key focus areas of the coach side. In addition to that Stein Morten Hansen goes on his fifth year, the rest of the team have been working with football at Mallorca from periods for 15 years and longer.
– Nobody beats us on an overall continuity. It is quite unique. Our coaching team have respectively 30 years, 16 years, 15 years and 5 years experience with elite sports and football at Mallorca (minus shorter periods on some times). We have always worked in a team and are very well established. Therefore it was important to get Stein Morten in place for all nine months, Tsolis says.
Stein Morten Hansen has worked as head coach of A-teams in 3rd and 4th division men, been an assistant coach in 2nd division men, and held several roles as player developer / goalkeeping coach in Norway and Spain. He has also worked for Agder Football Association.
– Stein Morten have a burning commitment to football and to develop youth players. He have the right passion for Mallorca Toppfotball. He has the right personal qualities and is good at taking care of those around them, and create good relations with other people . We certainly have the right man in the right place, at the right time. On and off the field, Tsolis says.
– To the extent that 29 years is young, we consider Stein Morten Hansen as one of the nation's largest coaching talents, despite his already good background, Tsolis says.
