Leadership, Coaching and People Management - An interview with Raufoss IL's new English manager Tom Dent

Jonathan Fadugba is joined by the new Raufoss IL manager Tom Dent for an in-depth interview ahead of the season. Tom makes his 5th appearance on the Nordic Football Podcast and we have followed his journey from Bodø/Glimt to Stjørdals-Blink to Ham Kam and now back in the head coach's chair in the OBOS Ligaen. How did his recent move transpire and what has he learnt from his time as assistant manager at Ham Kam in the Eliteserien? We talk about managerial attributes and needed, philosophies, evolving as a coach and manager, plus what the ambitions are for this season. We thank Tom for his very generous time again on the Nordic Football Podcast and wish him all the best for this season.    00:00 Intros 02:00 Life after Ham Kam & Raufoss move 06:10 What is Raufoss like? 11:25 Differences between managers and assistant managers 20:40 What attributes are needed in management? 25:10 Compare the OBOS Ligaen to Eliteserien 33:30 Philosophies changing and squad 37:00 Evolving in football 45:45 How has recruitment changed in football? 53:55 What is success at Raufoss and what is leadership?
