Helstrup takes charge Sunday against IFK Göteborg

Jul 7, 2026

Gaute Helstrup takes charge of Malmö FF for the first time Sunday when IFK Göteborg visit, seven days after he watched from the stands as Guillermo Molins and Mario Chavez guided your team to a 1–0 win at Degerfors (1). Molins steadied the ship with two straight victories after the Allsvenskan restart, a 5–2 dismantling of Halmstad followed by Erik Botheim's winner at Degerfors, and now hands the reins to the Norwegian. Analysts have called the Helstrup appointment a significant gamble, and with Malmö sitting eighth on 16 points after 11 matches, the Göteborg clash is an early test of whether that gamble pays off.
