Kalmar FF is in contact with Verna combat trainer
Jonas Tern, 55, may be close to leaving IFK Värnamo.
Several Allsvenskan associations, including Kalmar FF, are showing interest in the coach who also has inquiries from abroad, Sportbladet has learned.
– Two clubs called us, he says.
Many Allsvenskan training sites have moved and there may be more tremors in the surf.
According to information from several different sources, Jonas Tern may be about to leave IFK Värnamo.
Directed criticism
When Sportbladet finally captured the WC94 champion, he admitted:
– I have one year left on the contract, I’m happy and IFK Värnamo wants me to stay, but I warned them I’m looking at some other options, says Thern.
In an interview with Värnamo Nyheter recently, the profile expressed some disappointment that the club’s management chose not to renew contracts with assistant coach Toni Johansson and goalkeeper coach Joachim Wolf.
In addition, the Turn itself, while entirely voluntary, took a step back when Kim Hilberg drove Värnamo and confirmed in an interview with the local newspaper that he “keeps the doors open”.
now says:
– The kids are growing up, I’m getting older, and if my wife and I don’t go on long vacations, the alternative is to take on a new and exciting job when there are still clubs that want my skills, says Jonas Turn.
Kalmar FF, who lost Henrik Rydström to Malmö FF, should be one of the clubs that has shown concrete interest in Tern.
Loss of coach’s license
– It’s no secret that I spoke to Kalmar about another assignment for their academy, last winter. Kalmar FF may definitely be an option in the future, everything depends on what is offered to me.
Jonas Tern lacks the coaching training required to be the only coach at the elite level. It must be part of some kind of constellation training.
Are there more requests for Lsvenscan?
– I can confirm that in general there is interest from all over Sweden in my services. There are two clubs that have contacted us. Then we’ll see where it goes, he says.
According to Sportbladet’s sources, Thern’s openness to new assignments has led to inquiries at various levels from clubs in Asia, the Arab world and Cyprus.
There may be few in the world who still know my name or where our paths crossed when we played. When I ran the Calcio academy, we also had summer camps with players from around the world and I made contacts, says Jonas Turn, who during his active career abroad has represented top clubs like Benfica, Napoli, Roma and Glasgow Rangers.
