After ending his professional career, he became player-manager of Norheimsund in 2007. He also took a 30% position as director of sports in Løv-Ham. By chance, these two teams faced each other in the 2007 Norwegian Football Cup.[2][3] He resigned in Løv-Ham after the 2007 season.[4]

In mid-2008 he was hired as player developed in his former club Helsingborg.[5] After three and a half years he took the same role in Brann,[6] only to embark on a manager career in Fredrikstad one year later.[7] Both Lars Bakkerud and director of sports Joacim Jonsson soon found themselves on illness absence, opening for Håkon Wibe-Lund as caretaker manager. When Bakkerud still had not returned at the end of the season.[8][9]

Ahead of the 2014 season he moved back to the Bergen district as director of sports in Os TF.[10] In mid-2015 he relocated to his native Vestfold as manager of Ørn-Horten.[11] After a bad start in the 2016 2. divisjon he resigned.[12] In 2017 he was ready for FK Tønsberg, where he became player developer,[13] director of sports and coach.
