IFK Gothenburg's Allsvenskan season has developed into a pure disaster.
The team has only won two matches out of 19. Varberg away in round 2 and AIK at home in round 5.
After that, there have been 14 matches without a victory.
The points losses after burnt goal chances, penalties and conceded goals have lined up.
Last week, the club got enough and fired coach Poya Asbaghi.
Instead, the assistant coach Ferran Sibila led the team together with Alf Westerberg in the match against Hammarby on Thursday (0-4).
Role back
Recently, it has been rumored that Gothenburg has been looking for IFK Norrköping's Jens Gustafsson, but it will be the old big player Roland "Rolle" Nilsson who now gets the task to save Blåvitt in the Allsvenskan, and lead the team up the table.
He has been signing for two and a half years.
Ferran Sibila continues as assistant coach.
- I can contribute knowledge with getting the team to work together.
It may not have been the case that all the pieces were in place.
It will be my job to get the pieces in place.
That the team becomes more solid in the defensive game but also creates more chances going forward, says Roland Nilsson.
For the past nine years, Roland Nilsson has worked with the Swedish U17 and U21 national teams.
He has previously led, among others, FC Copenhagen and won gold as a coach in Malmö FF.
He is thus back in the club he played in seven successful seasons in the 1980s, when he in addition to three Swedish Championship golds also participated and won the UEFA Cup.
- Then is then and now is now.
What happened then is history, he states in an interview with Göteborgs-Posten.
