– I read it and that question comes up all the time, but you’ll probably have to wait and see. We have chosen not to comment until it is clear, says the national team manager for the men, Stefan Pettersson, to SVT Sport.
A few weeks ago, the number of candidates for the federation captain was around five according to general secretary Andrea Möllerberg.
But according to The evening paper the number is now down to two.
Dane Jon Dahl Tomasson, former Malmö FF coach, is now at Blackburn in the English second division and is said to want to leave that club.
Jens Gustafsson is currently a coach at Pogon Szczecin in the Polish league and has previously coached both Halmstad and IFK Norrköping, just like former national team captain Janne Andersson. Gustafsson has also led the U21 national team for a shorter time.
