The 4-1 loss at home to Varnamo was too big.
Helsingborg is now kicking coach Jürgen Lennartsson.
– I understand the decision, he says in a press release.
Helsingborg lost 4-1 at home to Varnamo on Saturday night. After the match, the team booed and many fans chanted “Avgå Jörgen”.
Even a day after the loss, Helsingborg has now announced that he is sacking coach Jürgen Lennartsson.
Unfortunately, we did not manage to get the points we wanted at the beginning of the series. The norm in today’s football is to replace the coach in charge. HIF has now chosen this solution and given our table situation, I understand and agree with the decision. I hope my colleagues in the management strive to achieve the best in the club. I have worked at Helsingborgs IF for nearly 10 years in various roles and the club is very special in my heart. I would like to thank all the people involved at this time and wish the club every success in the future, preferably with a win on Sunday, Jürgen Lenartsson said in a press release.
Helsingborg has announced that Alvaro Santos and Matthias Lindstrom will now lead the team provisionally during the week and in the match against AEK next weekend.
The results weren’t quite what either of us wanted or hoped for, but there’s still 20 rounds and plenty of time to turn the ship around. It is now important for us to come together, gather strength and do what we can during the week to prepare in the best possible way to get three points against AIK on Sunday, says sporting director Andreas Granqvist.
