After the school year 2005-2006, she quit as a teacher and became the coach of Norway women's national under-15 team and worked for the Norwegian Football Federation, region East.
Autumn 2007, it became official that Kjetil Rekdal wanted Tyriberget as video analyst for the German club Kaiserslautern, which he was the manager of.[7] She accepted the offer, but got a short stay since Rekdal got sacked in February 2008.[8] Tyriberget got to continue in her role, but ended the cooperation with Kaiserslautern shortly after. She continued as a coach for the national team and working for the Norwegian Football Federation's region East.
In 2011, Tyriberget was the assistant coach for the Norway national under-19 team who won silver medal in the UEFA Under-19 Championship.[5]
During the three year period 2015-2017, Tyriberget worked fulltime in the Norwegian Football Federation, mostly as a coach for the national under-16 and under-17 teams. Both in the UEFA Under-17 Championship 2015 and 2016, the team got through to the knockout stage, and they reached the semi-finals once.[5] In addition, Tyriberget was the analyst during the UEFA Euro 2017 for the Norway national team.[9]
In January 2018 in Norway, she finished the education she needed to get the UEFA PRO-licence, together with 19 others, among them were Monica Knudsen and Margunn Haugenes.[10][11]
In the period 2018-2020, she was sporting director for Avaldsnes Idrettslag. Early in the summer of 2020, she returned to the Norwegian Football Federation in a challenging time. There she cooperated with Elise Brotangen about coaching the U15, U16 and U17 teams.[12] In 2017, she was the coach of the U19 team temporarily, until Hege Riise became the coach, after she was done being the caretaker manager for the England national team.[13]
