Trond Bjørndal (born 9 October 1969) is a Norwegian football coach and former player.

Hailing from Frekhaug,[1] he started his career in IL Kvernbit, and joined Åsane Fotball as a youth player before being drafted into their senior team in 1988.[2]

After the 1995 season, Bjørndal was on a lenghty trial in Viking FK, but picked up an injury at the last moment.[3][4][5] Following a good 1996 season with Åsane, Bjørndal was approached by Sogndal IL.[6]

He instead joined FK Haugesund,[7] and enjoyed a spell in the Norwegian Premier League in the seasons 1997 and 1998.[8] In 1998 he was also on loan at Bryne FK from early May to late June 1998.[9][10]

He left ahead of the 2000 season to join Danish team Vejle BK,[11] having formerly trialled for Sheffield United.[12] Bjørndal made eight appearances in the 1999–2000 Danish Superliga as Vejle were relegated.[13]

After half a year without a club, Bjørndal rejoined Åsane ahead of the 2001 season.[14] He left after the season.[15]

Ahead of the 2004 season, Bjørndal was hired as head coach of Åsane, with Håkon Østevold as assistant coach.[16] Bjørndal only stayed for one year, and was hired as assistant coach under Magnus Johansson at Løv-Ham Fotball ahead of the 2005 season.[17] One year later, Johansson left and Bjørndal was promoted to head coach.[1] Løv-Ham survived the battle against relegation, but Bjørndal resigned at the end of the season.[18] Shortly thereafter, Bjørndal was hired as director of sports in Åsane.[19] Here, he remained for 12 years until resigning in 2019.[20]
