Clarets appoint Fjlelde as set-piece coach
Fjelde has previously worked at clubs in his native Norway, including Bryne, Viking, and Staal. He has also worked as a set-piece coach for the Norway Football Federation.
"I'm very excited. It's a huge opportunity and I'm really happy to have the trust of the manager and from the club," Fjelde said.
"I think more and more clubs see the importance of set-pieces and how crucial they can be in matches, so it's important to emphasise and put the work in on them."

Inter Milan Coach Cristian Chivu Hoping To Follow In Conte & Allegri's Footsteps With Serie A Title In First Season With Top Job
Inter Milan coach Cristian Chivu is hoping to follow in the footsteps of Antonio Conte and Max Allegri by winning the Serie A title in his first season in a top job. This is highlighted by Rome-based newspaper La Repubblica, via FCInterNews. Cristian Chivu is still a very inexperienced coach. At least at the senior level. The Romanian has no shortage of experience as a player. And he also worked his way up the youth team ranks at Inter. However, Chivu has coached a grand total of just thirteen matches at senior level. All of these came at Parma last season. Therefore, Inter are taking a gamble that the 44-year-old will be able to seamlessly make the step up to one of the biggest jobs in Serie A. Chivu Hoping To Follow In Serie A Title-Winning Footsteps Of Conte & Allegri SEATTLE, WASHINGTON – JUNE 21: Cristian Chivu, Head Coach of FC Internazionale Milano, reacts during the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 group E match between FC Internazionale Milano and Urawa Red Diamonds at Lumen Field on June 21, 2025 in Seattle, Washington. (Photo by) There are a couple of examples of coaches who managed to defy their doubters by going all the way in Serie A in their first big jobs in the division, though. One is Antonio Conte. Like Chivu, Conte had won plenty as a player, but done relatively little to prove himself when Juventus took a chance on him in 2011. But that did not stop Conte from winning the Serie A title in his very first season as Bianconeri coach. Conte stepped down as Juventus coach in 2014 after three consecutive Serie A title wins, and Max Allegri replaced him. And Allegri would guide the Old Lady to five more titles. Prior to his time in Turin, though, Allegri had also enjoyed a lot of success with AC Milan. In fact, the Rossoneri won the title right away after Allegri had taken over. He repaid their faith in him after a series of smaller jobs in Serie A. Now, Conte and Allegri are in charge of Napoli and AC Milan respectively. Undoubtedly two of the teams that will be among Inter's biggest rivals for the title next season. And having such experienced, proven coaches could be major assets for both Napoli and Milan. But Inter will be hoping that Chivu can prevail against the veteran coaches, and remind them of something they'd once proved themselves – that experience is not a prerequisite for winning trophies.

🚨 BREAKING: Arsenal sign Sporting and Sweden star Viktor Gyökeres
Arsenal have confirmed the €73.5M arrival of Sporting CP centre-forward Viktor Gyökeres. The deal for the strilker will see Arsenal reportedly pay Sporting €63.5M up front, with a further €10m achievable in add-ons. The Gunners have long been after a new striker and have now got their man in the form of the 27-year-old, who scored a mammoth 54 goals for Sporting last season, including 39 in the league. Gyökeres led Sporting to consecutive league titles in his two seasons in Lisbon, scoring a total of 97 goals in 102 appearances for the club. In a protracted transfer drama that also involved RB Leipzig ace Benjamin Šeško, Gyökeres adds his name to a growing list of reinforcements in north London this summer. Real Sociedad's Martin Zubimendi, Brentford's Christian Nørgaard, and Chelsea's Kepa Arrizabalaga have also arrived as the Gunners look to go one better than the last three Premier League campaigns, which have all seen them end the season as runners-up. 📸 PATRICIA DE MELO MOREIRA - AFP or licensors
