Andreas Brännström terminated the contract with Mjällby.
The club also confirmed that it has already refused to release him now.
“This is not a ‘big problem’ and nothing affects me or the loading of players for upcoming matches,” says Brännström.
Sportbladet previously revealed that Andreas Brännström will not extend his contract with Mjällby and that there are already discussions about leaving the club.
According to Sportbladet information, Röda Stjärnan was already interested in bringing in Brännström as assistant coach.
Mjällby now confirms that they turned down an application ‘from the outside’ and that Brännström terminated his contract.
– Mjällby AIF He decided in conversation with Andreas to evaluate the offer, which was done on Tuesday and as the club refused to release Andreas. For Mjällby AIF, this is nothing strange or unique, as we evaluate offers to players and managers and put them in relation to what is best for the future of the federation. We’ve done this in the past, and we will continue to do so, he says Jacob Lennartsson, Club Director at Milapy continues:
– In the case of Andreas, there is currently no offer to consider and Andreas is fully aware of the situation and is determined to continue his fantastic work as head coach of Melby Ive, unless otherwise stated. The existing contract between the two parties could be terminated before 2023, which Andreas also did.
Offer a new contract
So Branstrom can move to another club after the season ends.
– We see that it is quite understandable that Andreas could review and assess his situation after the season, and the contract would also have expired if Andreas had decided to stay as the Federation offered a new contract to replace the previous one. We as an association still hope and want Andreas Bernström to be head coach of the federation in 2023, but that is something the future has to say.
Bränström himself:
– This is not a ‘big deal’ and nothing affects me or the loading of players for upcoming matches. I’m not in a bad situation, but I became a coach at Mjällby AIF, where I feel very good. I will continue to give everything for the club as long as I am the Al Ittihad coach.
