Lars Johansson was involved in creating a dynasty.

Between the years 2009 and 2016, he secured several Swedish Championship golds with Skellefteå and was then recruited to the Swiss big club Zürich Lions.

After a couple of seasons there, he stepped into the Russian super club SKA St. Petersburg.

It turned out to be a ticket into the Russian national team. 

Now the next Swede is about to make a similar journey.

It's about goalkeeping coach Stefan Persson with a past in AIK.

After five years in Spartak Moscow, he now gets the chance in the Russian national team - and begins his mission with the World Cup in Latvia.

He has developed top goalkeepers such as Magnus Hellberg, Gustav Lindvall and Markus Svensson among many others.
