Lars Lagerback is Norway's coach. The Swede will be responsible for making Spain suffer three years after placing Iceland at the forefront of world football.

The Swedish coach has a long history with national teams. From 2000 until 2009 he led Sweden to two World Cups and three European Championships with Ibrahimovic and Larsson, among others.

However, it wasn't until 2016 when he won the votes of everybody in the football world. Lagerback was able to take Iceland to the quarter-finals of the UEFA EURO 2016 in France.

At the end of the tournament, Lagerback ended his time with Iceland to go to Norway, where he has been a coach since 1st February 2017. His aim is none other than to qualify his team for Euro 2020.

For this, his team, Norway, will face Spain this Saturday in Norway. Lagerback will try to avoid the fact that Spain already basically qualify for the European Championship that will take place next year.
