Here is one of the main candidates for the position of the new president of the Swedish Football Association.
According to the well-started information for Sportbladet, current national team manager Jens T Andersson is currently the hottest name for the position.
“I’ve been contacted by people in the movement about the role of president,” Anderson says.
Carl Eric Nelson will be replaced as the new president of Swedish Football Association in 2023. There has already been speculation about a number of names as a possible replacement.
Among other things, former referee Jonas Ericsson was mentioned as a hot candidate for the position and Malmö FF CEO Nicklas Carlnén was also mentioned as another person who could take the job. Ericsson earlier announced that he refused, which was reported by Fotbollskanalen.
But according to Sportbladet information, it is now another name that has emerged as a favorite to take on the role of the new president of the Swedish Football Association. It’s about current national team manager Jens T. Anderson.
He can now become the head of Svff
Jens T Andersson has a strong football background and served as CEO, Sports Director and Coach at AIK. He was the sporting director of Hajduk Split and AGF Aarhus, as well as the president of the elite Swedish football team and a member of the board of directors of the federation.
He was recently appointed as the new manager of the national team, which became official on March 7, 2022. In addition to this, he has a background where he worked for a long time in the Uppland Football Association.
When Sportbladet arrived at Jens T Andersson, he was very silent about the fact that he might become the new president of the Swedish Football Association, but confirmed that he had been contacted.
– What I can say is that I have been approached by people in the movement regarding the role of the president, he says.
How do you feel about becoming president of the Swedish Football Association?
– I’m in a very good place now and I’m enjoying my job well. But if the movement wants me to take on more responsibility in Swedish football, I’m no stranger to that.
In the past, Bleaking President Tommy Anderson has also been mentioned as another candidate who could become the new president.
