Kronberg moved to Faroe Islands Premier League club KÍ Klaksvík in February 2021, after ten years in Norway.[6] His tenure with the club witnessed remarkable achievements, playing a pivotal role in their domestic triumphs and historic European feats. Notably, he was part of KÍ becoming first Faroese club to advance to the group stage of a major UEFA-organised European tournament, qualifying for the 2023–24 edition of the UEFA Europa Conference League.[7] Additionally, they secured three consecutive league titles in the 2021, 2022, and 2023 seasons.[8]
Personal life
