New Motherwell Boss Eyes Bodo/Glimt Model

Motherwell's new manager Alfred Johansson is inspired by Bodo/Glimt's journey. The Norwegian club has won many admirers with their exploits in Europe. Johansson wants to replicate this model at Motherwell.

What is the Bodo/Glimt model?

Bodo/Glimt have won the Eliteserien on four occasions and reached the Conference League quarter-finals. They have done this despite significant geographical and financial disadvantages. Johansson spent two-and-a-half seasons in charge of Rosenborg and saw how Kjetil Knutsen made his side a formidable force.

How does Johansson plan to implement this model?

Johansson wants to create continuity and consolidate things at Motherwell. He believes that a well-run football club can create a culture that can move mountains. This culture can be developed over time with stability in squads, staff, and directors.

What are the challenges ahead?

Motherwell finished 4th in the Premiership with 54 points, 16 points behind leaders Heart Of Midlothian. Their recent form has been inconsistent, with 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses in their last 5 games. Johansson will be doing well to replicate the success of his predecessor, Jens Berthel Askou.
