AIK has had an awfully tough season in Hockeyallsvenskan, and lies with only six rounds left to play last - with a whole 17 points up to Almtuna.

Now, for the second time this season, they are kicking the coach. Bobo Simensen is forced to quit, after only three months at his post. Instead comes Roger Melin, two weeks after he was fired by Leksand and declared that he would take it easy at least until April.

- It felt natural to try to be involved and I'll do what I can to help. I have been in similar situations before where there has been a lot of pressure on the team and I can hopefully help bring some peace into the squad and try to find some joy, ”he says on AIK's website.

The last two teams in the Allsvenskan qualify to stay in the series.
