Helstrup emerges as Malmö target after Horneland chase stalls

Jun 20, 2026

Malmö FF have turned their attention to Gaute Helstrup after the pursuit of Eirik Horneland ran into complications (1). The Bodø/Glimt head coach is now the name under serious consideration for the vacant managerial role, with the club looking to reset after a disappointing start to the Allsvenskan campaign that leaves them ninth after ten rounds. Helstrup has built his reputation on an aggressive, front-foot style in Norway, and Malmö appear ready to move quickly.
