Strasbourg in talks with FK Bodø/Glimt manager Kjetil Knutsen

Strasbourg in talks with FK Bodø/Glimt manager Kjetil Knutsen In their search for a new manager, RC Strasbourg Alsace have turned to Norway, as per a report from  L’Équipe .  It was reported by  Onze Mondial  on Monday that Wilfried Nancy, formerly of Celtic, was the favourite to succeed Gary O’Neil, who left the club at the end of last month to join Ipswich Town. However, a report from  Sacha Tavolieri  suggested that former Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank was the frontrunner. It has since been reported that the Dane may not be looking to make an immediate return to management this summer.  As a result,  L’Équipe  understands that two candidates remain, with one of them being Kjetil Knutsen. The 57-year-old manager is appreciated by Strasbourg for his work at Bodø/Glimt. He took his side deep into the UEFA Europa League in 2025, only coming unstuck against Tottenham Hotspur. Knutsen’s side also impressed in the Champions League last season.  Advanced talks between the Bodø/Glimt manager and Strasbourg are ongoing.  GFFN | Luke Entwistle
