From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Leiknir 2011–12 football season
The 2012 season was the club’s 39th year since its establishment and its 7th consecutive season in the 1st division. The team was predicted to finish in 4th place[1] before the season; after a difficult season the team ended up in 10th place, narrowly avoiding relegation by a win in the last round.
Willum Þór Þórsson was appointed manager at the start of the season, but his association with the club would be broken off in July after a disappointing season. Gunnar Einarsson former assistant manager was appointed interim manager until the end of the season along with Davíð Snorri Jónasson as his assistant.

Pre-season[edit]
Leiknir started the pre-season with a couple of impressive results in Reykjavik Cup against rather strong teams. In their first match Leiknir defeated Víkingur R. 2–1. Leiknir followed that win by defeating their rivals ÍR 3–0. Next game they lost 6–3 to KR in an exciting match. Their last match against Fram finished 1–1 leaving Leiknir in 3rd place in their group, level on points with KR but with a weaker goal difference and therefore not qualifying from the group. Fram went on to win the cup.
Leiknir finished 5th in their group in the League Cup.
