When Roland Nilsson left the assignment for IFK Gothenburg, Claes Eriksson took over temporarily.
They were close to getting to the European Championships in 2021, but did not succeed.
Now Poya Asbaghi takes over with a view to the European Championships 2023.
- It will be very, very fun to change club environment to national team environment.
It places new demands on me as a coach with short sessions where basically everything needs to be prepared between the meetings with the players and at the same time it is important to be as efficient as possible during the sessions.
What will also be very fun is to meet international resistance, he says.
The contract begins at the turn of the year and extends until the summer of 2023.
Claes Eriksson, who is head of the U21 national team and the boys' national team, is satisfied with the recruitment.
- It will be great fun with Poya.
He is a man of the future and has shown good qualities in his previous coaching jobs for Dalkurd, Gefle and IFK Gothenburg, he says.
