A bit of history:
The club has established itself as a premiership side in the last few years, but is yet to win any titles. Sigurður Jónsson was appointed manager before the 2006 season, after a successful period at Víkingur. Lee Sharpe of Manchester United fame played for them for a brief time. In the season of 2006, Grindavík got relegated for the first time in their history. In September 2006 when just 3 rounds to end, Sigurður Jónsson resigned as a manager and his assistant manager, Milan Stefán Jankovic took control. They made a draw against Fimleikafélag Hafnarfjarðar, 1:1, in the last round, but it was clear before the game that they needed to win that game. Sigurður Jónsson was named as manager of Djurgårdens IF in December 2006. On September 22nd, 2007, Grindavík won a promotion back to the icelandic premier league after a 6-0 win over Reynir Sandgerði, with still one round unplayed.
