Espen Haug was appointed coach in Drøbak/Frogn after the coach and athletic director Håvard Lunde resigned as head coach for the club in 2007 season. In the 2009 season had a tough start, and Drøbak/Frogn was positioned at the bottom half of the Second Division table. Drøbak/Frogn's fans were not happy with the development of the team and asked the board for reaction. The chairman, Arild Dregelid, went out in the media and said Espen Haug had the boards confidence, and that he would continue as head coach.
