Azinovic joins Sweden's staff while staying at Malmö FF

MFF's goalkeeping coach joins Sweden's staff

Zlatan Azinovic is Sweden's new goalkeeper coach. The 38-year-old stays in his job at Malmö FF and works in Graham Potter's staff at the same time (2)(3)(4). Potter: "Vi har en bra bild av Zlatan" (2).

He starts with two Nations League camps now, with Euro 2028 as the stated target (3). Sweden face Romania in the Nations League on 25 November (5).

What Berglund says about the pipeline

Goalkeeping coach Philip Berglund called it a deserved receipt, for Azinovic and for the club (4). He pointed to William Nieroth Lundgren developed into an Allsvenskan goalkeeper and Melker Ellborg sold to the Premier League, with Robin Olsen and Johan Dahlin still at the highest Allsvenskan level (5).

Helstrup's MFF is straighter and more intense

The Sydsvenskan MFF panel sees the effect of coach Helstrup's change: a straighter, more intense Malmö FF (1). In the 4–1 win over Örgryte IS on Sunday, ten players aged 20 or younger got minutes (1). The panel wants the autumn to be about performance and development, and names fourth place as the target (1).

Västerås away on Saturday

Malmö FF sit 5th on 33 points after 21 games, goal difference +6 (Form: W L W D W). Next up is Västerås SK away on Saturday at 15:00 CEST.
