Peter Antoine has died.
The former football coach and television personality was 79 years old.
Peter Antoine had great success as a coach for Mjällby AIF during the 90s and, among other things, took the team up from division two.
He also coached teams such as Gefle IF and Assyriska FF.
At the beginning of the 2000s, the German, born in a bunker in Essen in 1944 when the bombs fell on the city, walked through the television box in Tipslördag.
Now Peter Antoine has died. He died on the night of Thursday in the aftermath of pneumonia, according to information given to Sportbladet.
He lived to be 79 years old.
Affected by bone rot
– It was very sad to hear that Peter Antoine passed away. Peter was coach for Mjällby in two rounds and made a positive impression. His charisma and way of building a team spirit, where everyone fought for the club brand, is something that we carried on. He is a coach who has contributed to the history that Mjällby has and for whom we are happy, says Jacob Lennartsson, club manager in Mjällby.
The former football coach has lived in Hällevik for a long time. In 2017, the profile suffered from bone rot. The disease went so far that he was forced to amputate his right leg.
Sportbladet has been in contact with the family, who have given their approval for publication.
