Managerial career
[edit]Heimir was hired as an assistant manager to FH on 21 September 2005.[3] On 10 October 2007, he took over as manager of FH after Ólafur Jóhannesson resigned[4] and won the Icelandic championship in 2008 and 2009. He won the Icelandic Cup in 2010 and the Icelandic championship again in 2012, 2015 and 2016. For his first nine seasons at the helm, FH finished either first or second in the Úrvalsdeild karla. He was sacked following the 2017 season after the team finished third in the league.[2][5][6]
In November 2017, Heimir was hired as the manager of Havnar Bóltfelag.[7][8] On 23 September he won the Faroe Islands Premier League with HB after defeating second placed KÍ 2–1. With the victory, no team could catch HB even with four matches remaining.[9] After the season he was named the Faroe Islands Coach of the Year.[10] In 2019, he led HB to victory in the Faroese Super Cup and the Faroese Cup.
In 2019, he took over as the manager of Valur and led them to the 2020 championship. In July 2022, he was fired as manager after a rough start of the season.[11]
