I don't know how many people still remember Henny. Borg's name. The dude has been a manager for 17 years, but he seems to have a low presence in European football.
Henny. Borg was a strong presence in the Premier League that year, accumulating 274 Premier League games. He has played here for 10 years since joining Blackburn Rovers in 1993 to make his Premier League debut. His peak was spent at Manchester United, where he won the treble in the 98/99 season. In fact, Borg was not an absolute workhorse at that time, and he played 28 games for the team that season. He also gradually faded out of the team's main lineup.
During his time at Manchester United, he played 102 games, scoring three goals and providing two assists.
He returned to Blackburn Rovers in July 2000. After spending three seasons here, he joined Rangers and spent his final professional season with the Premier League giants. He played a full 100 games for the Norwegian national team, scoring nine goals. Borg has appeared in three major finals for the national team.
As a defender, he was full of honours and almost achieved the Grand Slam of Club Competition. He won nine club competitions and was close to the UEFA Super Cup.
Borg has played 478 club games in his career, and with 100 games for the national team, his career total is close to 600. For the national team, he played in the 1994 and 1998 World Cups and Euro 2004. He witnessed the World Cup in France and the team reaching the last sixteen.
In the national team, Borg has started as captain 40 times. After 2005, he faded out of the national team. In 100 national team matches, he received 12 yellow cards and scored 9 goals. Amazingly, as a defender, he received only one red card in more than 40,000 minutes of club games, such a Borg is "clean" enough.
Only one year after retiring as a player, he began his coaching career. His first team was Norwegian Premier League side Lien FK, who finished third in the Premier League in his first coaching season. He went on to take Lilleström, Warsaw Legia, Vidiolton, Starbeck, Nicosia Omonia and others. He also coached Blackburn Rovers briefly. But the record of 10 matches is only 1 win, 3 draws and 6 losses. So far, he has been a head coach for teams in five countries for 17 years.
He has led 8 teams and left class 6 times due to poor grades. He has taken Warsaw Legia to league and cup titles, as well as two trophies at Omonia. However, Borg's coaching career has been modest, and he has also led Europe's third-rate league teams, but he has never been able to prove his strength in real competitions.
He is now the manager of Cyprus league side Pavers, leading the team to a record of 6 wins and 2 draws in 8 games, and the team is temporarily at the top of the table. The team has 17 points from seven league games and is unbeaten. Moreover, he has kept six clean sheets in the eight games he has played.
I don't know if Pavers has any hope of winning the title or qualifying for European competitions this season. Unknowingly, he has been the head coach for 17 years, but he is always in a tepid state, this season, maybe he will achieve a breakthrough himself!
