Nineteen men have occupied the post since its inception; one of those were in a short-term caretaker manager role: Ragnar Larsen (one game in his first spell). Egil Olsen is the only manager who has qualified for a World Cup; achieving a Round of 16-appearance at the 1998 World Cup as the best result. Nils Johan Semb is the only manager who has qualified for a European Championship. Ragnar Larsen became the first Norwegian manager when he led the team as a caretaker in a match in 1958. His successor, Kristian Henriksen was the first Norwegian to manage the team on a permanent basis. Wilhelm Kment, Larsen (one as caretaker) and Olsen managed Norway on more than one occasion, all with two spells.
