Johan Garbenlöf has been fired from his position as head coach at Djurgården.
In the previous days, he and captain Markus Krüger had an argument in the dressing room.
– I had a huge stomach ache when I knew he had to leave, Marcus Krueger tells Hockeynews.
Sportbladet reported a fight between Johan Garbenlöf and Markus Krüger in the second half against Beck Karlskoga.
Djurgården turned around and won the match but lost at home to Nybro in the next match.
Subsequently, Johan Jarbenlöf and assistant coach Markus Ragnarsson were fired.
-Anyway, I have a lot of respect for Garbin and it’s not funny that he has to leave. “I can say I had a huge stomach ache when I found out,” Markus Kruger says.
You want to tone down the fighting
He himself played with a broken foot against Pek Karlskoga and has not featured in the three matches since.
Just like Johan Garbenlöf, Markus Krüger didn’t think differences of opinion were a big problem.
-If you were a fly on the wall over there, I don’t think you would have thought it was that serious. nothing special. “I’m very upset that it’s become a thing,” Markus Kruger says.
I spoke after that
After Garbin had to leave, he talked to him and complained that he was not allowed to stay and took responsibility for the sporting disappointment.
Marcus Krüger trains again with the team after injury.
On Wednesday evening, Beck awaits Karlskoga in Hovet, and on Friday evening there is a match against Södertälje in Skaniarinken.
Former assistant coach Mikael Holmqvist took over, while Patrick Andersson became assistant coach.
