announced that Ívar's contract had been terminated by mutual consent. International career Ívar represented Iceland at under-17, under-19 and under-21 level, making 16, 11 and 14 appearances respectively. He made his senior debut for Iceland in a June 1998 friendly match against South Africa. He opted to retire from international football for a period of just under two years because of arguments with the former joint-managers Ásgeir Sigurvinsson and Logi Ólafsson. He became available again once the pair were replaced by Eyjólfur Sverrisson, and made several further appearances before retiring again in 2007. Personal life After retiring from football Ívar returned to Iceland and moved into the tourist industry. His cousin, Gunnar Thorvaldsson was also a professional footballer and spent the second half of the 2009–10 season on loan at Reading.
