Ramírez on the brink, worst Malmö start in 18 years

Ramírez days numbered

Miguel Ángel Ramírez's time at Malmö looks close to over. Reports suggest the manager could be on his way out (3) after a brutal start to the season that has seen your team slump to 12th place with just 10 points from nine games.

Another loss, same problems

Malmö fell to Västerås in another match where the defense leaked goals, but Ramírez saw something different this time. "After conceding three you get a bit blinded by the result, but I didn't feel we gave away chances the same way as in previous matches," he said (2). Small consolation when you have lost three straight.

Worst start in 18 years

This is Malmö's poorest opening to a campaign since 2007 (4). Nine matches in, you sit on 10 points with a negative goal difference. For a club of this stature, that is not just slow, it is alarming.

New sporting director incoming

Philip Berglund has been bought out from Hammarby and will take over as sporting director on June 1 (1). A significant move off the pitch while everything on it is unraveling.

Fan reactions

The mood on Reddit is bleak. One fan summed it up with a post titled simply "Malmö FF 2026 (1999?)", referencing the club's 12th-place position and the sense of crisis gripping the terraces. Read the full thread here.
