Martin Sjögren (born 27 April 1977) is a Swedish football coach who is currently working as coach for Hammarby IF team in the Damallsvenskan.[2]
He won the 2016 Damallsvenskan title with Linköpings FC.
He agreed to take the Norway national team job in 2016.[3] Upon taking the job, he declared his ambitions to lead Norway to Olympic qualification.[4]
Norway failed to progress past the group stage in the UEFA Women's Euro 2017, finishing last in Group A without scoring a goal.
He led Norway to the quarterfinals of the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup, finishing second in Group A during the group stages before being defeated 3–0 by England in the quarterfinals.
The team failed to qualify for the 2020 Summer Olympics.
In 2021, he signed a new contract with the Norway national team, with included provisions for a performance review after the 2022 Euros. However, he resigned as Norwegian coach following the UEFA Women's Euro 2022, where Norway failed to progress past the group stage for a second consecutive tournament and suffered an 8–0 loss to England, one of the largest in the tournament's history.[5]
