Svante Weyler thinks that Bergstrand's comments about Hitler's Germany are problematic, especially that he does it so spontaneously.
- I do not know many people who would spontaneously take up the Nazi leaders as role models in some context, and perhaps least of all in sports.
- The whole interview that Kim Bergstrand gave was about leadership and breathed a desire for an authoritarian leadership.
And to say in that context that there is much to learn from the Nazis is remarkable and very outrageous, Weyler says to SVT Sport.
Do not buy the excuse
Bergstrand has told SVT Sport that there are good and bad examples of leadership.
Where this was a negative example, but that he made mistakes that went into that area.
Weyler does not buy that excuse.
- It sounds like a very bad aftermarket construction.
There is nothing in the original statement to suggest that it is the negative lessons of the Nazi leadership that he is looking for.
But he seems to be looking for the other - you can get people to do things in one context.
We know what the Nazis got people to do and what they did themselves.
This means that every reference and association with the Nazis is completely insane.
Think it was handled differently in Germany
Weyler also does not believe that Bergstrand had been allowed to remain in a club in Germany, for example.
- Had he been the coach of a German football team, he would have been fired with immediate effect.
Imagine Jürgen Klopp saying "I learned so much from the Nazis when I coached Liverpool".
Then Klopp would not sit for a second on the chair he is sitting on now.
However, Weyler does not want to comment on whether Djurgården should fire Bergstrand.
- I think the most important thing is that Bergstrand talks about how he could come up with this thing and if it is something he uses everyday.
Then Djurgården must take a stand on it.
It's not my job to fire coaches.
