Rosenborg BK coach Nils Arne Eggen said he would “leave it to the youngsters to celebrate” after a 1-0 win against Tromsø IL secured his 14th title in charge of the Trondheim side.
Rosenborg BK clinched their 22nd Norwegian title on Oct. 24 thanks to a 1-0 win against Tromsø IL which came courtesy of Rade Prica’s goal with 11 minutes remaining.
