Right now, a vote is underway on this year's team in the Swedish handball league. It is coaches and journalists who vote for the team and as leader of this year's team, Jesper Östlund has been voted in Hallby. He received over 55 percent of the vote.
Östlund came to Hallby two seasons ago and during that time has raised Hallby in the highest league and led them there to a safe tenth place, nine points above the qualifying spot.
- We have done wonderfully well given the conditions. Our experience in the Handball League was almost equal to zero. It was tough at first but it was clapping more and more. We learned during the course of the season and were at their best in the spring when we were piling up some of the best teams. I am super proud of the guys who made a performance very far above my expectations, ”says Östlund to Handbollsligan.se
Below is a clip with Östlund for this year's season.
