Tore André Flo[3] (born 15 June 1973) is a Norwegian professional football coach and a former striker who previously was the manager of 1. divisjon club Sogndal.

A year later, as Chelsea challenged for the title, Flo hit ten league goals, but constantly found his playing opportunities limited by manager Gianluca Vialli's squad rotation policy and the signing of Italian striker Pierluigi Casiraghi.

He scored another at the Camp Nou in the return game against Barca, though the team ultimately lost 5–1 (it was 3–1 at full-time, with Chelsea conceding two goals in extra time).

By the start of the 2000–01 season, Chelsea had signed strikers Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and Eiður Guðjohnsen, despite scoring two goals and assisting one in a 3–3 away tie against Manchester United, he was again forced onto the substitutes' bench, and he requested a move away.

[5][6][7] Much was expected of Flo,[8] and he started off well by scoring on his début in a 5–1 victory over Rangers' archrivals Celtic,[9] and hit 18 goals in 30 SPL games.

Sunderland's manager Peter Reid had been under-fire throughout pre-season for his failure to buy a big-name striker as a long-term replacement for the ageing Niall Quinn.

The relatively high price-tag for a player who was struggling in Scotland, and the late hour of his signing led many fans,[13] and pundits including legend Jimmy Montgomery[14] to believe that Flo was a deadline-day panic buy.

It was clear by Sunderland's tactics that Reid expected Flo to slot into the role of veteran Niall Quinn (who retired from playing in November) as a tall target-man for long-balls.

[16] Flo played for Siena for two seasons, becoming a success in Italian football and helping the club establish themselves in the top division for the first time.

He put on another brilliant performance in November against eventual finalists Roma in a 2–1 Coppa Italia away win where he scored both of his team's goals.

On 3 January 2007, former teammate Dennis Wise brought Flo back to England, this time for Leeds United, with a contract lasting till the end of the 2006–07 Championship season.

[19] Flo made his away début as a substitute for the Yorkshire outfit in Leeds' 3–1 defeat to West Bromwich Albion in the FA Cup.

[20] A week later Flo scored his first goal for Leeds against the same opposition after three minutes with a towering header in a league match which ended in a 3–2 defeat.

Flo also had the misfortune of missing the ninth penalty in a tense shoot-out against Scunthorpe United which prevented MK Dons from reaching the 2009 League one play-off final at Wembley.

In his first start at the last day of the season he scored both goals in a 2–1 victory against league champions Molde, then coached by Ole Gunnar Solskjær.

[31] He gained the nickname Flonaldo (an obvious pun on Ronaldo, one of the world's best strikers) when Norway beat Brazil 4–2 in a friendly match.

[32] Flo played for Norway at the 1998 FIFA World Cup, scoring a goal in a 2–1 win over holders Brazil as they reached the second round.

Flo was a quick, tall, powerful, and physically strong striker, with an eye for goal, who was known for his ability in the air; in spite of his size, he also possessed good technical skills, and was capable of playing off of his teammates.

[34] On 17 November 2021, Flo was announced as the new head coach of Sogndal in Norway for the 2022 season, the club he began and ended his playing career.
