Tengesdal played for Viking most of his career, but also spent time at Tromsø, Skeid, Lyn and Randaberg. He represented Norway at under-17 and under-21 level.

Club career edit

Tengesdal was born in Stavanger,[3] and grew up in Egersund where he played for Egersund until 1997[4] and joined Viking ahead of the 1998 season. He played 18 league-matches in his three first season at Viking,[5] and replaced Gunnar Aase as a substitute after 111 minutes in the 2000 Norwegian Football Cup Final when Viking lost 2–1 against Odd Grenland.[6]

In the 2001 season, Tengesdal spent six weeks at Tromsø on loan during the summer.[7] He scored two goals in his first match for Tromsø when Sogndal was beaten 3–0 on 10 June 2001.[8] Tengesdal played five league-games and two cup-games for Tromsø before he returned to Viking.[7] Tengesdal scored the goal that sent Viking to the 2001 Norwegian Football Cup Final in the last minute of the semi-final against Odd Grenland,[9] and a few days later he was involved in both of Viking's goals when Kilmarnock was eliminated from the 2001–02 UEFA Cup.[10] Tengesdal's contract expired on 30 October 2001, five days before the final, and Viking's head coach Benny Lennartsson did not want to sign Tengesdal for another season.[11] Tengesdal played in the Final when the local rivals Bryne were beaten 3–0, after Viking extended his contract by a week.[12]

Tengesdal joined First Division side Skeid as a free agent ahead of the 2002 season,[10] and scored in his debut for the club when Hønefoss was beaten 2–1 on 21 April 2004.[13] In June 2002, Skeid released their best-paid players, Patrick Holtet, Børge Hernes and Tengesdal, due to the poor economy.[14] Tengesdal then signed a contract lasting until the end of the season with Lyn,[15] where he made his debut against Pors Grenland on 27 June 2012. He played seven league-matches and one cup match for Lyn, all as a substitute.[16]

Tengesdal signed for Viking ahead of the 2003 season, one year after he left the club.[17] Under Roy Hodgson's command, Tengesdal was playing regularly on the right back and received praise for his performances,[18] and also played for Viking in the 2005–06 UEFA Cup. After he retired, Tengesdal said he was at his best during the time with Hodgson as manager.[19]

While playing for Randaberg in 2008, Tengesdal got an offer from the First Division side FK Haugesund, which he turned down.[20] He played one season in Randaberg before he retired because of problems with a hip.[21] Tengesdal was diagnosed with osteoarthritis, and replaced both his hips at the age of 33.[22]

International career edit

Tengesdal played five matches for Norway U17 in 1997, and seven matches for Norway U21 between 2000 and 2001.[23]

Coaching career edit

Tengesdal was the manager of Randaberg alongside Bjarte Lunde Aarsheim in 2009.[24] He joined the coaching staff of his childhood club Egersund ahead of the 2011 season.[4] He left the position as assistant to Bengt Sæternes in 2013 to become an adviser in FK Vidar.[25]
