This is reported by Stavanger Aftenblad.

Ingebrigtsen trains the Portuguese Jose Carlos Pinto. This could have opened up the possibility for him to get a Portuguese accreditation.

Previously, Ingebrigtsen has been rejected by the associations in Norway and Canada.

Ingebrigtsen was sentenced in June to a conditional sentence for causing bodily harm to his daughter.

On the other hand, he was acquitted of the allegations of assault against his daughter and son, as well as the star runner Jakob Ingebrigtsen.

This is one of the most notable court cases in Norway in recent times.

The World Championship in athletics will take place from 13 to 21 September and Jakob Ingebrigtsen will be one of the championship's biggest stars if the foot injury, which has plagued him all season, does not stop him.
