The drama continues in the new participant of the Champions League. Kolstad from Trondheim took the title in the Norwegian championship from Uroš Borzaš and Elverum, then made official the arrival of Sander Sagosen, Goran Johansen and Magnus Abelvik, and then the problems started.
At first it was only speculated that Kolstad was in big financial problems and that the management asked the players to give up 30 percent of their salary for the next season and 20 percent of their salary for the 2024/25 season, and now it was Sander Sagosen who confirmed it. The great center back spoke out and pointed out that he still believes in the project he pledged his loyalty to, so it seems that the team will still stay together.
“Of course, this is brutal news for all of us involved. It’s a shame that this is happening. I have never played handball for money, I will stand behind this project and hope that it will succeed“, Sagosen told the Norwegian media.
Allegedly, the team did not even receive a bonus for the triple crown, which it achieved by winning the championship, cup and supercup of Norway in the 2022/23 season. Neither the team bonus nor the additional bonuses negotiated through the contracts of certain key players such as Tobjorn Bergerud, Sigvaldi Gudjonsson, Magnus Gulerud and Janus Dadi Smarason were paid.
In the season behind us, Kjelce had similar, although much bigger, problems. Their biggest sponsor withdrew from the club in the middle of the season and left them without money. However, the team managed to sell Nedim Remili first and thus “patch” the finances, and then soon a new sponsor appeared.
