Steinar Nielsen, with a former career as an AC Milan, Napoli and Tromsø IL player, and Tromsø IL coach, was assigned to the task. Inspired by the Italian style of playing, he soon made some major upheavals with the team. After a troubled start, Brann continuously gathered points, in spite of rather various performances. Brann really never played a perfect match in 2009, but it was Steinar Nilsens first year, and after the season, Brann ended up fifth, barely not reaching the Europe League spot. The 2009 squad: Rodolph Austin, Birkir Már Sævarsson, Tijan Jaiteh, Olafur Örn Bjarnason, Armann Björnsson, Eirik Bakke, Azar Karadas, Erik Huseklepp, Jan Gunnar Solli, Kristian Flittie Onstad.
