Horneland close to Malmö job, announcement imminent

Horneland deal close

Malmö are on the verge of appointing Eirik Horneland as the new head coach. Sources say only details remain before the Norwegian signs, and an announcement could come before the league restart (1) (2) (3) (4). The news ends a period of uncertainty that began when Miguel Ángel Ramírez left the club.

The bigger picture

Malmö sit ninth after ten rounds, stuck on 13 points with a goal difference of zero. The 5–2 win over Halmstads BK last time out, fueled by Erik Botheim's eight-minute hat-trick, felt like a corner turned. Now a new manager gives the season a fresh start.
