Scandinavian coach hunt narrows
Malmö FF are leaning hard toward a Scandinavian manager to replace Miguel Ángel Ramírez. New sporting director Philip Berglund confirmed the direction, telling Expressen: "We've landed on the fact that it probably works best with a Scandinavian name" (3). The club has six to seven names in the process, according to Bollsvenskan (1).
One name you can probably cross off: Eirik Horneland. Reports say the former candidate has chosen another assignment, with Hammarby now focusing on Henrik Rydström instead (4).
Berglund eyes African market
Your new sporting director is already thinking beyond Scandinavia. Philip Berglund told Bollsvenskan he sees Africa as an interesting market for Malmö FF, pointing to the club's resources and development opportunities (2). No concrete targets yet, but the scouting net is widening.
Georgson backs Malmö turnaround
Former MFF leader Andreas Georgson believes the club can reverse its spring struggles. He pointed to the "experience bank" within the squad as the key to climbing back up the table (5).
Malmö sit 9th with 13 points from 10 matches, fresh off that 5–2 demolition of Halmstad where Erik Botheim bagged a hat-trick in eight minutes.
