Peder Sandell has stepped down as the head coach of Norway’s Nordic combined team, it has been announced.
Sandell had held coaching roles at the Norwegian Ski Association over the past five years, including serving as head coach for the past two seasons.
According to Norwegian newspaper
Aftenposten, Sandell has decided to step away from the role to spend more time with his young family. The feeling of a child who is sad when you leave the kindergarten, many recognise themselves in, Sandell told
