They finished sixth last season and Brown could be the man the club. turn to turn around their fortunes.

Fotbolti claim that KR representatives have "talked to Brown about the possibility of him taking over the reins in Vesturaern." They are said to be considering "various candidates" from across Europe for the top job.
