Djurgården Hockey is rebuilding its organization for the future.
K–G Stoppel will not remain in the role of sports director and Djurgården has met with a number of candidates who will take over the role of sports director.
Among other things, they have met the scout Victor Nybladh and Oskarshamn’s outgoing sports director Thomas Fröberg.
But it is a completely different name that will take over, as the boss.
Hockeynews wrote during the morning that Niklas Wikegård is highly topical.
According to sources to Expressen, Wikegård was presented internally to the player group during the morning, before the club presented him as the new sporting manager.
Returning to the club again
– I have followed hockey through all the years that have passed since I was last an active coach and probably thought 1000 times about giving myself back in. Now both the time and the opportunity are absolutely right and it feels very fun to be able to do something together with all Djurgårders, says Niklas Wikegård.
TV4 expert Niklas Wikegård, with almost 20 years of experience in the television industry, is thus leaving that job. He has an agreement with TV4 until 2026.
Thus, he returns to the club for the third time. This after having coached the A team in 1995–1998 and 2002–2005.
– My task will be to use all the power that exists in and around Djurgår, channel it in the right way and find a way forward for the whole association. It feels incredibly exciting and something that is new to me. At the same time, I have a habit both as a hockey coach, from the years in the TV industry and from building companies. I believe that the accumulated experience will be of help to me, although of course I have the utmost respect for this new assignment.
Victor Nybladh, who is one of the people interviewed for the job, may also be part of a constellation. According to Expressen’s information, Djurgården wants Nybladh to work together with Wikegård, who will take office on May 1 according to the current plan.
