Former Crystal Palace manager Laura Kaminski is set to become the head coach of Norwegian club SK Brann, sources close to the club have confirmed. The 38-year-old Englishwoman has a strong track record in her managerial career, having previously led Palace to WSL 2 title and promotion to England's top flight during her two-year tenure at the club.
Kaminski was sacked by Palace in February 2025 after just one win in 14 games with the team struggling at the bottom of the league. However, despite that tumultuous period, she has gone on to land a new opportunity as Brann, where she will be looking to replicate her success at Palace.
The Norwegian champions reached the quarter-finals of the 2023-24 Women's Champions League under former boss Martin Ho, who is now managing Tottenham. The appointment of Kaminski could signal an exciting period for the club, with fans eagerly anticipating her first game in charge.
As part of her new role, Kaminski will be expected to bring a fresh perspective to Brann, leveraging her experience and expertise to drive success on the pitch. With her impressive credentials, she is set to face high expectations from fans and pundits alike.

, dont get me wrong, laura kaminski sounds like a beast coach but you'd think theyd go for someone with a bit more exp 
i mean, she was sacked after just one win in 14 games and now im supposed to be hyped? 
still, gotta respect the lady's credentials, led palace to promotion and all that 
And what about all the other clubs who are struggling to find their footing? Shouldn't we be focusing on supporting them instead of just piling on pressure for the new girl at Brann? It's like, let's not forget that football's a team sport, folks. We should be building each other up, not tearing each other down 
... she got sacked after just one win in 14 games lol, what does that even say about her abilities? 
... and Brann did do pretty well in the WCL last season, so maybe Kaminski can build on that 
... still, 1 win in 14 games is not exactly inspiring stuff, but hey, you never know what she'll do at SK Brann 
. Still, Kaminski's got some solid experience under her belt and she did lead Palace to promotion from WSL 2 so that's gotta count for something 
. I'm curious to see how she'll adapt to Norwegian football, it's a whole different beast from the Premier League. One thing's for sure, though - SK Brann fans are super excited and they're expecting big things from her 
. And I think it's great they're bringing her on board, Brann needs a fresh face after Martin Ho left, maybe this will be the wake-up call they need to get back to their winning ways 
laura kaminski is finally gonna lead sk brann to victory 
i know she had a rough spell at palace but that was just one bad spell lol her tenure there was actually super impressive 
️
she had a rough patch but 2 years with promotion and wsl 2 title under her belt? that's no joke! now she's off to norway's SK brann 
hoping to bring that same magic there... 
. The fact that they're giving her a second chance is a testament to how much they believe in her abilities 
.
, I'm so nostalgic for when women's football was still finding its footing back in the day! 
. But hey, maybe this new gig will be different, maybe she'll bring some magic to Norway 
? The fans are hyped, which is cool, but I'm just curious if it's all gonna work out 
she seemed like a solid manager, and now SK Brann gets her 
... I guess only time will tell if she'll live up to the hype or come back down to earth 
. SK Brann's in for a treat, might just be the pick-me-up they needed after Martin Ho left... fingers crossed Kaminski brings the magic to Norway!
it's gonna be interesting to see how she adapts the team's style but imo the fact that they were already in the quarter finals of the Champions League says a lot about their squad talent 
so yeah, i think this could be a really great move for both Kaminski and Brann 
still, can't deny the hype around this appointment - Brann fans are probably buzzing with excitement 
- that's what we need more of in women's football! Kaminski's track record speaks for itself 
, she led Crystal Palace to a WSL 2 title and promotion to the top flight, which is no easy feat. I'm intrigued to see how she'll bring her expertise to Brann
