[edit] Player
During his active career, Mjelde spent two seasons at FK Austria Wien, two and a half seasons at Lillestrøm SK and a total of 7 seasons at SK Brann. Towards the end of his career, he was loaned out to Sogndal IL in 2001. Mjelde scored 72 goals in 160 matches for SK Brann, earning himself and the team silver medals in 1997 and 2000, bronze medals and a cup silver as losing finalists in 1999 and an advancement to the quarter final in the Cup Winners' Cup in 1997, in which they were eliminated by Liverpool FC. After returning to Brann from Austria in 1996, Mjelde scored 19 goals in 15 league appearances, earning him the Kniksen award as "striker of the year". Mons Ivar played 3 games and scored 2 goals for Norway.
[edit] Coach
A magnificent first 4 years as a senior coach has seen Mjelde win both the league and the cup in Norway. Retiring as a player after the 2001 season, Mjelde became the new coach for Brann's reserve team in Norway's 3rd highest division. The year after, Brann's main coach, Teitur Þórðarson was fired after delivering a catastrophic season. In January 2003, after only one year's experience as a coach, Mons Ivar Mjelde was appointed head coach in SK Brann. The following season, Mjelde led Brann to a number 6 position in the premiership. The year after he led the club to a bronze medal in the premiership and cup victory, Brann's first trophy in 22 years. The 2005 season, however, was a big disappointment. The objective was premiership gold and a new cup final, but Brann only managed a number 6 position in the Tippeligaen and was eliminated in the cup quarter final. Even if the 2006 season looks to be a glory one, Mjelde is still much criticized in the press and among the fans for his lack of tactical skills. Spending a lot and never giving up his "happy-go-lucky" attitude surly makes him a controversial coach.
In 2007, his coaching career hit new heights when he took Brann to their first league title in 44 years.
