History
Since Magnar Isaksen won a bronze medal in the 1936 Summer Olympics, many footballers from Kristiansund have played for the Norwegian national team, including Ole Gunnar Solskjær, Øyvind Leonhardsen, Trond Andersen, Ole Stavrum and Georg Hammer.[1] In addition, players like Ola Lyngvær, Jan Erlend Kruse, Arild Stavrum, Ole Erik Stavrum, André Flem and Christian Michelsen have played for different clubs in the Norwegian top division, and Clausenengen has been called a "talent factory".[2] Nevertheless, the football clubs from Kristiansund have had limited success,[1] with Kristiansund FK's spell in the 1. divisjon in 1991[3] and Clausenengen in 1999[4] as the most recent.
In 2003, the local bank Sparebank 1 Nordvest initiated a merge between Kristiansund FK and Clausenengen, with the bank as the main sponsor of the new club paying 750,000 kr per year.[1] Kristiansund BK was founded on 2 September 2003 and replaced Kristiansund FK in the 3. divisjon,[5] with the other two clubs continuing to play in the lower divisions.
The club finished second behind Træff in their 3. divisjon group in 2004[6] and won promotion to the 2. divisjon in 2005 after beating Volda in the 4-2 on aggregate in the promotion play-offs.[7] In 2006, Kristiansund finished seventh in their first season in the 2. divisjon.[8] Ahead of the 2007 season, Geir Midtsian replaced Ole Gunnar Iversen as head coach[9][10] and with New Zealand international Kris Bright on the team, who scored 23 goals in 26 matches for the club,[11] Kristiansund BK started to look like a contender for promotion and finished fifth in 2007 and fourth in 2008.[5] The team also eliminated Rosenborg in the second round of the 2008 Norwegian Football Cup.[12]
After finishing third in 2009,[13] the club's goal was promotion to the 1. divisjon,[14] and in March 2010 Kristiansund BK and Surnadal IL started a partnership with Molde FK for developing local players.[15] In August 2010 Molde FK loaned out Elias Valderhaug and Jacob Falch Meidell to Kristiansund BK to help out in the race for promotion,[16] but the team finished second behind Hødd.[17] After suffering bad results in the beginning of the 2011-season, Midtsian decided to withdrew as head coach in July 2011,[10] while his assistants Per Eirik Bentz and Torgeir Fredly were left in charge until the club hired a new head coach.[18] The team's results improved in the second half of the season and they finished second behind Bærum.[17]
On 10 November 2011, Kristiansund BK announced that they had hired Geir Bakke, who had previously worked as assistant coach at the first-tier clubs Vålerenga and Stabæk, as head coach starting from 1 January 2012.[19] After playing 21 matches without losing, the club was promoted to the 1. divisjon on 16 September 2012, as winners of their 2012 2. divisjon group.[17][20]
Christian Michelsen succeeded Bakke as head coach in 2014. After making the play-offs rounds in the 2014 and 2015 seasons of the 1. divisjon, Kristiansund BK were promoted to Eliteserien after finishing in first place in 2016.
