Ludogorets appoints Per-Mathias Hogmo as head coach

The management of PFC Ludogorets officially announces the appointment of Per-Mathias Hogmo as head coach of the first team. The club selected the Norwegian coach as the most suitable for the future development of the team. The decision is driven by his extensive experience, disciplined approach to work, and successful results at both club and national level.

Hogmo has a long coaching career, including positions at several leading Norwegian clubs, as well as with Norway’s national teams—from youth levels to the women’s and men’s senior teams. In 2006, he won the Norwegian title with Rosenborg and took part in the Champions League group stage, where after decisive victories and a draw against Olympiacos, he reached a match with Zenit in the knockout phase of the Europa League. In 2022, he won the Swedish title with Hacken, and the following season the Swedish Cup. With Hacken, he also took part in the Europa League group stage. An interesting fact from his career is that at the Sydney Olympics in 2000, he became champion with Norway’s women’s national team.

Hogmo will have highly qualified specialists on his staff. Their names will be announced later.

Tomorrow (Saturday), Per-Mathias Hogmo will hold his first training session with Ludogorets. Later in the day, at 18:30 in the “Flamingo” hall of the “Zoo” hotel in Sofia, the Norwegian specialist will be officially presented to the media.

The club is confident that his experience, methodology, and professional philosophy will significantly contribute to the development of the first team and the achievement of the set sporting and technical goals.
