The IFK Norrköping mystery, on the other hand, remains unsolved. Despite a number of players with individual abilities, coach Jens Gustafsson has failed to put together a functional and reliable team.
– They had a golden opportunity to pinch third place and would “just” put Helsingborg in his place, but they would behave sloppily and slovenly and I think Norrköping should go their separate ways with coach Jens Gustafsson. They don’t respond the way Gustafsson wants Norrköping to play. I think you have been in Norrköping long enough so I suggest you go your separate ways. And I think there is a lot of interest in Jens Gustafsson and it would be nice if he left right now, says SVT expert Daniel Nannskog at Football Studio.
Despite one remaining on the contract, Gustafsson’s future is uncertain. Is he the right man to lead IFK Norrköping 2021?
– It’s not my job to answer, it’s advice. And I accept the decisions that the board makes, says Gustafsson.
TT: Is it your will to lead the team next year?
– As long as I am confident, I want to be in IFK. There is nothing else, he says.
He has rocked here, he has rocked there, and when there was a chance to secure third place and the European Games, he got right into the ditch. Instead of playing in the newly launched Europa Conference League and the small silver medal, the season ended in sixth place, nothing, a failure.
He stopped 3-3 after 24 minutes: “Just to forget”
Of course, everything is relative, especially compared to the fate of Helsingborg. It remains to be seen how much of the team that said goodbye to the Allsvenskan in Östgötaporten remains, but if HIF brings with it attitude and professional pride, there is a good basis for a quick recovery to the highest series.
For those who appreciate goals, this Swedish football season takes a lot to overcome the first 24 minutes in Östgötaporten with 3-3.
Defense approach has been a constant problem in 2020. A lower mark was reached towards Helsingborg. In what may have been his last game for the club, goalkeeper Isak Pettersson saved his Norrköping from an even greater disadvantage.
