Career

Jørgen Vik started his career at Tromsdalen at seven years old and got his senior debut in 2005. [2] After not being able to establish himself in the senior squad, Vik moved on and had two different spells at both Lyngen/Karnes and Finnsnes. [3] [2] Ahead of the 2014 season, Vik returned to play for Tromsdalen, this time playing in the 1. Divisjon, the highest level he would play at through his career. [4] After two seasons at Tromsdalen, he once again returned to Lyngen/Karnes, in a new role as a player-coach. [5] His last season was split between Skjervøy in the spring and returning once again to Lyngen/Karnes in the autumn. [3] [6] After getting signed on as head coach for Skjervøy, he played his final game, a cup tie, against his old club Lyngen/Karnes, winning 7-1. [7]

Simultaneously as Vik was playing football, he also played futsal for Sjarmtrollan, playing regularly in the Norwegian Futsal Premier League from 2015 until his final games in 2020. The team, with Vik as goalkeeper won the league both in 2016/2017, and 2018/2019. [8] His performances got him called up to the Norway national futsal team, where he was capped fifteen times between 2017 and 2019. [3]

Coaching career

Lyngen/Karnes

Vik's first coaching job was as a player-coach for Lyngen/Karnes ahead of the 2016 season. The club worked with a coaching group consisting of Vik, Øyvind Garfjell, and Cato Larsen. [5] Vik left his position to play for 3. divisjon side Skjervøy after two years at the club.

After his first spell as player-coach for the club, Vik returned in the same position, this time in a team with Ole Talberg, for the latter half of the 2018 season. [6]

Skjervøy

After Vik's second spell as player-coach for Lyngen/Karnes, he was announced as Skjervøy's new head coach before the 2019 season. [9]

Tromsø

After two seasons as head coach for Skjervøy, Vik did not sign a new contract with the club and instead stared working for Tromsø, this time in a new role as the assistant manager to Gaute Helstrup. [10]

Ahead of Tromsø’s 2024 season, Vik was promoted to head coach, after Helstrup left the club. At the time of his appointment, it was reported that Vik didn’t have the right pro license to coach a club in the Eliteserien, and that he would need someone else in his coaching team to fulfil this. [11] [12] Only weeks after his appointment, Tromsø announced Gard Holme as the new co-head coach, to fulfil the licensing paperwork, making Vik and Holme equal on paper. [13] [14] The season started abysmally for the coaching duo, with five straight losses in the league, while also exiting the Norwegian Cup against Vålerenga. Through the summer, the club picked up more points, and at the end of the season, barely avoided relegation. [15] [16] [17]

Before the start of the next season, Tromsø announced that they had parted way with co-head coach Holme, and that Vik would remain as the sole head coach for the upcoming season. This was possible as Vik was announced as one of several Norwegian coaches picked for the UEFA Pro Licence course starting in 2025. [18] [19]
