Lars Bakkerud (born 1 June 1971) is a retired Norwegian football midfielder and later manager.[2]

Manager career[edit]

After ending his professional career, he came out of retirement to play the latter part of 2005 for SK Vard Haugesund. A back injury ruled him out already in August 2005.[3][4] He was then hired as assistant manager of IL Sandviken's female team under head coach Arne Møller.[5] Their stint ended in the summer of 2006, and Bakkerud was available to play for Løv-Ham.[6] He was wanted as manager of Løv-Ham ahead of the 2007 season,[7] but ended up as player-manager of Norheimsund while also taking a 30% position as director of sports in Løv-Ham. By chance, these two teams faced each other in the 2007 Norwegian Football Cup.[8][9] He resigned in Løv-Ham after the 2007 season.[10]

In mid-2008 he was hired as player developed in his former club Helsingborg.[11] After three and a half years he took the same role in Brann,[12] only to embark on a manager career in Fredrikstad one year later.[13] Both Lars Bakkerud and director of sports Joacim Jonsson soon found themselves on illness absence, opening for Håkon Wibe-Lund as caretaker manager. When Bakkerud still had not returned at the end of the season, his contract was terminated.[14][15]

Ahead of the 2014 season Bakkerud moved back to the Bergen Region as director of sports in Os TF.[16] In mid-2015 he relocated to his native Vestfold as manager of Ørn-Horten.[17] After a bad start in the 2016 2. divisjon he resigned his position.[18] In 2017 he was ready for another club in the region, FK Tønsberg, where he became player developer,[19] director of sports and coach.

Personal life[edit]

He married footballer Elin Hopland in the summer of 1996.[20]
