Janne Andersson

Andersson spent the majority of his playing career with Alets IK, but also briefly represented IS Halma and Laholms FK. A prolific goalscorer, he is Alet IK's all-time highest goalscorer and scored five goals in his last-ever appearance for the club.

Early career

During Andersson's early managerial years, he managed Alets IK and Laholms FK.

Halmstad

While at Halmstads BK, Andersson's team knocked out Portuguese giants Sporting CP in the UEFA Cup, who had made it all the way to the UEFA Cup final the previous year.

Örgryte

He took over Superettan team Örgryte IS in December 2009, who had just been relegated from Allsvenskan. During Andersson's stay at the club, Örgryte suffered from serious financial problems which eventually led their Superettan licence to be revoked. Andersson left the club after only one season.

IFK Norrköping

In 2011, Andersson was appointed as the manager for IFK Norrköping who were making their comeback in Allsvenskan after two seasons in Superettan. In 2015, he led Norrköping to win the league for the first time in 26 years after defeating defending champions Malmö FF away in the last game.

Sweden

Following Sweden's disappointing Euro 2016 display, Andersson took over as the head coach of the Sweden national team after almost seven years of Erik Hamrén being in charge.

2018 World Cup

Under Andersson, Sweden qualified for its first FIFA World Cup in 12 years by eliminating the Netherlands and Italy during the qualification process. While at the 2018 World Cup, Sweden experienced its most successful World Cup campaign since 1994, winning Group F ahead of South Korea, Mexico, and reigning world champions Germany. Sweden eliminated Switzerland…

One of his role models is former Swedish handball coach Bengt Johansson, who is from the same neighbourhood, Söndrum, in Halmstad. Johansson served as Andersson's physical education teacher in primary school.
