Hammarby IF has fired coach Kalle Karlsson. The decision was made after just eleven allsvenska matches. Sportchefen Mikael Hjelmberg explains the decision with shortcomings in training and in the requirements. - We have seen a lack of setting requirements for our surroundings, both staff and player squad. We need to train in a more developing way. We can see a trend that is going in the wrong direction for us in individual development and as a team, explains Hjelmberg. Kalle Karlsson received the news on Thursday evening, via phone when he was on vacation. The sportchef describes the conversation as difficult to call. - I think the media attention for him is directly unpleasant and a bit unseemly. He has had to read about himself about what he does not do well, who will replace him, the loss of the player squad and right and left. So I feel for him, I have respect for Kalle and the conversation hurts to call, he says. Kalle Karlsson is replaced by Henrik Rydström. Hammarby IF now has a new challenge ahead of them, to find a new coach who can lead the team forward. It is a difficult task, but it is also an opportunity for the team to grow and become better. Hammarby IF has always been a team that has fought and fought, and that is why they have such a large fan base.
