Ronny Deila (born 21 September 1975) is a Norwegian former professional football player and currently the manager of Vålerenga. He spent most of his playing career at Odd before becoming head coach at Strømsgodset, winning the Norwegian Cup in 2010 and the Norwegian League title in 2013. He won the Scottish Premiership and Scottish League Cup with Celtic in his first season, 2014-15.
Deila began his playing career with lower league club, Urædd. He then joined Odd, where he became a mainstay in their defence. In 2000 he played in the side that defeated Viking 2–1 in the Norwegian Cup Final, his only major honour as a player. He joined Viking in 2004, before moving on to join Strømsgodset as player/assistant coach in 2006.
Although by 2009 he was coaching Strømsgodset, he combined these duties for a couple of years with playing part-time at lower league Sparta/Bragerøen until 2011.
He was capped nine times for the Norwegian under-17 side and then made two appearances for the under-21s in 1996. Deila never represented his country at senior level.
After leaving Viking, Deila coached Norwegian fourth-tier club Brodd briefly in 2005. He then joined Strømsgodset in 2006 as player/assistant coach, working under head coach Dag-Eilev Fagermo until the end of the 2007 season, when Fagermo decided to move to Odd.
