Coach
His first four years as a senior coach has seen Mjelde win both the league and the cup in Norway. Retiring as a player after the 2001 season, Mjelde became the new coach for Brann's reserve team in the Norwegian Second Division. The year after, Brann's main coach, Teitur Thordarson was fired after delivering a catastrophic season. In January 2003, after only one year's experience as a coach, Mons Ivar Mjelde was appointed head coach in SK Brann. The season resulted in Brann finishing 6th, a major improvement from last year. The following year he guided Brann to a bronze medal in the premiership. They also won the cup, the first trophy in 22 years. 2005 however, was a disappointing season with Brann only managed a 6th place finish. 2006 was a better one for Mjelde and Brann who finished second, only behind Rosenborg BK. In 2007, his coaching career hit new heights as he took Brann to their first league title in 44 years, six points ahead of Stabæk.
