Nils Arne Eggen (born September 17, 1941 in Orkdal, Sør-Trøndelag, Norway) is a personality that really stands out in Norwegian soccer history. He is best known as the manager for Rosenborg B.K. in the period 1988 - 1997 and 1999 - 2002. This period is often referred to as "The Golden Age" for the club.

Nils Arne resigned as manager for Rosenborg in 2002, and Åge Hareide took over as manager. Two of Nils Arne's last achievement was winning the Norwegian Premier Division (11th time in a row), and qualifying for the European Champions League (8th time in a row).
