Sigurður Þorbjörn Ingimundarson (born 14 June 1966) is an Icelandic former basketball coach and player. [1] He is the winningest coach in Icelandic basketball history for both genders, both in terms of national championships and career wins. [2] [3]
In 2009, Sigurður was hired as the head coach of Solna Vikings. He left after only two games due to a disagreement with the board regarding how to build up the team, claiming he was not happy with the boards insistence on adding more American players to ensure short-term success. [4] [5]
Sigurður last coached Keflavík in the Úrvalsdeild karla before stepping down for health reasons in October 2016. [6] [7] [8]
Sigurður is the younger brother of Valur Ingimundarson, the highest scoring player in the Icelandic Úrvalsdeild history, [9] [8] and the uncle of basketball player Valur Orri Valsson. [10]
