OSLO (AP) — Gemma Grainger, ⁢head⁢ coach of the Norwegian national women’s soccer team, ⁢has relocated to Oslo after a year ⁤based in Leeds, England.The move aims to streamline her ⁣work and bring her ⁤closer⁤ to ⁤the team’s⁤ headquarters at Ullevaal‍ Stadium.

The transition, however, proved more challenging than anticipated.⁤ “It took some time,” Grainger told reporters. “Everything is so complex ⁢here. ⁤I was on Finn for so long,and⁢ no one answered. I started ⁣looking in October, but it took until now to finalize.” Finn.no is a popular Norwegian online marketplace frequently ⁣enough used for apartment rentals.

Grainger officially moved into ⁤her new Oslo apartment on March 1. Proximity to Ullevaal Stadium was a key factor in her decision.

“Are you renting?” she⁣ was asked.

“Yes,” Grainger replied.”I can’t buy in⁤ Oslo; I’d⁤ have to⁣ win the lottery. Oslo is expensive,” she added wiht a laugh.

Grainger emphasized the benefits of⁢ having ⁢a permanent base⁤ in Norway. “It’s been nice, even in just a month.‍ Previously,⁣ I would fly back to England on ⁣a Friday and return the⁢ following week.This is much better for me.”

The new location also provides greater ⁣flexibility to attend ‍matches in person. “It gives me more flexibility to watch matches live,which is what I want to do,”⁤ Grainger⁤ stated. ⁢She will, however, maintain a ⁢residence in Leeds.

Being based in Norway significantly reduces travel time to domestic league games.Grainger ‍intends to take ‍advantage of⁢ this to scout talent ⁤and monitor player development. “The season has just begun,but that’s the plan. Vålerenga and Fire have national team players, so the priority is to watch those matches live when I can. Then I see the rest ‍of the teams to ⁤look at some of the talents and the young ⁤players we have. It’s a balance,”‍ she explained.

Grainger, 42, acknowledged the challenges of managing her schedule, especially with national team players spread across Europe.”The top series is vital, but we⁤ also have players in eight other nations, and I have to travel ⁣a lot, so it’s always ⁤a difficult‍ puzzle to put together.”

The Norwegian ‍national team is currently in Nations League play. They drew⁤ against Iceland on Friday and will face France in‍ Oslo on tuesday.
