So, I decided to call back the players a bit early for the Pre-season since we have Swedish cup group play in March. While the players have been on holiday, a lot have changed in the staff department. As mentioned earlier, most of my staff quit at the end of last season, however I eventually manage to find some decent replacements. Here’s my staff for this season.
Director of football: Andreas Levi who has been in the club since I started
Reserves manager: Johan Karlsson, signed for this season
Assistant manager: Gabriel Bulut who is also a goolkeeper, however I don’t expect him to get much playtime. He is ok for an assistant at this level, and was the best I could find.
Head of youth development: Jiannis Vasillou. I signed him last season, I would like to gswitch him to a coaching contract but he doesn’t want a new contract, so I expect to loose him after this season.
Coach: Joakim Jensen. Hired for this season, good at defence and tactics. Also decent at attack coaching.
Goalkeeper coach: Mikael Grahn hired last season, and I’ll try to extend his contract past 2014.
Head PHysio: ANki Vennersten, who has worked for the club for a long time.
3 sdcouts, all new
That’s it about the staff. Now to the players:
I’ve made two new signings as well as extended some contract for existing players.
The new signings are Kim Kuusisto (midfielder), Anders Brunell (Goalkeeper) and Simon Aljedari (defender, hot prospect).
I expect to see good things from all of these players as they’ve all been hired for the first team.
I’ll try to post a squad update once the pre-season is complete.
My expectations for this season is not very hig. I just want to avoid relegation.
