Terje Liknes (born 4 June 1959)[1] is a Norwegian football manager.

Playing career

He played youth football for Årvoll IL, among others reaching the semi-final of the 1977 Norwegian Youth Cup, with teammates such as André Krogsæter.[2] He also started his senior career there, but manager Dag Vestlund counted on losing Liknes to a better club.[3] After Årvoll he played for Skeid in 1978, then Jevnaker IF. He moved to the region due to performing military service a Hvalsmoen.[4][5]

In 1981 he joined first-level club Vålerengens IF, but was not given a gold medal for Vålerengen's 1981 Norwegian league victory due to not playing enough games.[6][7] He played one single game for Vålerenga, against Dinamo Bucuresti in the 1982–83 European Cup preliminary round,[8] before returning to Jevnaker.[9]

Coaching career

He left Jevnaker after the 1983 season, and in 1984 he became player-manager of Vikersund IF.[10][11] In 1988 he took the same position in Liv/Fossekallen. He was player-manager for four years, then U20 coach in 1992. His replacement as manager was sacked halfway into the season, and Liknes returned to the helm where he served until leaving L/F in late 1993. He led the team to promotion to the third tier, where they finished second in 1989 and 1990, third in 1991, and second in 1992.[12]

In 1994 he left the league system to become head coach of Norway youth national teams. He doubled as the Football Association's head of regional development in Southern and Southeastern Norway.[13] His first assignment was with Norway U18, the boys' 1976 national team, spearheaded by strikers Torstein Helstad and Steffen Iversen.[14]

From 1 January 2001 he was assistant manager of the Norway women's national football team, embarking on a two-year contract to coach the Olympic champions from the previous year.[13][15] He was succeeded by Hans Knutsen in 2002.[16] Liknes continued in the Football Association, first as a player developer, then as administrative director for the youth national teams.[17][18]

Personal life

Terje Liknes settled in Haugsbygd, where he helped as a children's coach.[19]

His son Kjetil Liknes moved from Haugsbygd IF to Hønefoss BK as a youth player in 2001, and played for HBK in the First Division until losing motivation.[20][21] Kjetil Liknes was also capped for Norway U16, U17 and U18.[22]
