Coaching career

Moe was head coach at Træff from 1999 to 2002.[2] During Moe's period as Træff's head coach, the club played in 2. divisjon, the third-highest level in Norwegian football. The team was relegated to the 3. divisjon in his last season at the club.[2] Moe has been a part of the coaching staff at Molde since 2005,[3] with the exception of being head coach in third tier club Kristiansund for the second half of the 2011 season.[4] On 7 August 2015, he took over as manager for the club after Tor Ole Skullerud was sacked.[1] He was appointed as caretaker until the club found a new manager. Ole Gunnar Solskjær was appointed on 21 October 2015[5] and Moe went back to his former role as first team coach. Moe again took caretaker charge in December 2018, when Solskjær was appointed interim manager of Manchester United.[6] On 29 April 2019, Moe signed as permanent head coach till the end of the 2020 season.[7]

The 2019 season, Moe's first full season as Molde's head coach ended with Molde winning the league title with 68 points, undefeated at home and with a 14 point gap margin to runners-up Bodø/Glimt.[8] Of Molde's four title wins in history, this was won with the biggest title-winning margin.

Moe has stated that he is a fan of English club Coventry City.[9]
