Playing career

edit

Hailing from Mo i Rana, he played youth[1] and senior football for local club Bossmo & Ytteren IL. He joined Mo/Bossmo in 1992[2] and made his 2. divisjon debut with that club Mo/Bossmo in 1994.[3] After that season, he moved to IL Stålkameratene in the 1. divisjon.[2]

Stålkameratene were administratively relegated to the 1998 3. divisjon, where Fagermo scored 32 goals.[4] In 1999 and 2000, Fagermo was considered by multiple larger clubs. In late 1999 he went on trial with Bodø/Glimt, but the club pulled out.[5][6] The next year, interest also came from Sogndal and Lyn. In October he chose the newly promoted 1. divisjon club Aalesunds FK, where he would receive a much higher wage, becoming almost professional.[7][8]

In 2002 he helped win promotion to the 2003 Eliteserien.[2] However the club were narrowly relegated again.[9] Following re-promotion he got one more season on the highest tier, in the 2005 Eliteserien,[10] After the season, he did not receive a new contract and was contacted by multiple clubs, but retired to pursue a career as coach of Aalesund's U19 team.[11]

Managerial career

edit

Ahead of the 2008 season he declined a job offer from Mo IL.[12] He took a break from coaching to become a bank adviser.[13]

In 2009 he made a comeback as a player, for local Ålesund club Skarbøvik IF.[14] After that season he returned to coaching, this time for a boys' team in Aalesund.[15] Ahead of the 2013 season he moved to the same job in Spjelkavik IL.[16] He took over as head coach in 2014.[17] He resigned at the end of 2019, following good progression on the field.[18]

In March 2021 Fagermo started as acting manager for the women's team of AaFK Fortuna, whose manager was on sickness leave.[19] He got the job on a permanent basis.[20] After several years as manager, the board of directors chose "a new direction" and discontinued the employment of Fagermo in late 2024.[21] His first job outside of Ålesund city was that of assistant manager in FK Jerv. He resigned and moved back to Ålesund after the 2025 season.[22]

Personal life

edit

As a child he also played handball and Nordic combined skiing.[23]

He is married and has three children.[24] In 2013 he was a participant in the reality show Farmen.[25]
