Rydström expects no applause when Hammarby come
Henrik Rydström does not think you will clap him. Malmö FF sacked him in September 2025, and on November 1 he brings Hammarby IF to town (1)(7)(9).
"Det är en stor match. Jag förväntar mig inte att det ska bli någon form av hyllning, sedan hoppas jag att det om några år kan bli lite nyanserat," he said (1). In plain English: big game, no tribute expected, and maybe a fairer picture in a few years.
He says he carries nothing against the club (9). Hammarby are chasing the title. Your team are seventh on 37 points.
