Hallgrimsson celebrated remarkable success as Iceland's national coach from 2013 to 2018. He led the team to the quarter-finals of the 2016 European Championship together with Lars Lagerbäck from Sweden, who had the same rights. England were sensationally defeated 2:1 in the round of 16. In the months that followed, Iceland also managed to qualify for a World Cup for the first time under Hallgrimsson.
Most recently, the Icelander was under contract as national coach in Jamaica. He resigned after three defeats at the current Copa America.
