He has since moved into coaching, and after spells on the staff at Vålerenga and Stabæk, he has gone on to be the first team manager of Asker, Sandefjord, Aalesund, Sarpsborg 08 and Stabæk.
Bohinen is perhaps best well known in England for his time with Nottingham Forest. He moved from Young Boys to Frank Clark's Nottingham Forest for a £450,000 fee in 1993. He joined Forest at a time when they were struggling in the first division of English Football, and a clause in his contract meant that he could leave at any time if another club matched a £700,000 buyout fee. After gaining promotion to the Premier League with Forest, Bohinen stayed there for another season which included some famous goals for the Norwegian, most notably a 30-yard chip at White Hart Lane in a 4–1 victory for Forest against Tottenham Hotspur.
In 1995 English champions Blackburn matched the £700,000 buyout clause in his contract and Bohinen moved to Ewood Park, signing a three-year contract.[2] His first season was a success as he became a regular in the Blackburn side, scoring four league goals – including a double against his old club as Rovers thrashed Forest 7–0. Opportunities became more limited upon Roy Hodgson's arrival in 1997, as the new manager preferred more defensive-minded central midfielders.
Bohinen joined Derby County from Blackburn in March 1998 for £1.45 million. He had his contract cancelled by the club in January 2001,[3] having scored just once in a 3–1 away defeat against Crystal Palace in April 1998.[4][5]
After he retired from footballing, Bohinen became assistant coach for Vålerenga in Oslo, Norway, but later quit the job. He later became sporting director in Stabæk, but resigned in April 2009. He has gone on to be the first team manager of Asker, Sandefjord, Aalesund, Sarpsborg 08 and Stabæk.
