It was last week that Olof Mellberg was presented as HIF's new coach. He looks forward to the coach assignment and believes that the long-term plan with HIF looks exciting.

- But it will be a tough autumn, he says.

Olof Mellberg describes HIF as an association with a fantastic history that also has fantastic conditions.

- But they have had a hard time on the pitch, for many different reasons. So it feels like an exciting project to try to fix it, says Olof Mellberg.

Creates relationship with players

SVT News Helsingborg was present when Olof Mellberg held his first training. Now he has been able to train the players for a week.

- It has been a bit strange since we have had many players on national team assignments. But it has been positive to be able to work in smaller groups and get some relationship with the players, he says.

On Monday it is time for his first match with HIF away against Djurgården.

- We are going to make it as good as we can on the plane. That is the most important thing, says Olof Mellberg.
