The Table Tennis World Cup will be decided in Houston, USA November 23-29.
Mattias Falck and the rest of the Swedish national team now receive unexpected and experienced help from the bench when the World Cup gold medalist from 1971, Stellan Bengtsson, is called in next to Jöregn Persson.
- Stellan will contribute with an enormous amount of knowledge, experience as a coach and a lot of energy.
We think quite similarly to each other and I am convinced that he will be able to help the team in many areas, says the men's national team captain Jörgen Persson in a press release ..
Stellan coached Jörgen Persson for many years.
Since then, the friendship between the masters has lasted.
- I have a lot of contact with him and when I asked if he wanted to be an assistant coach during the World Cup, he did not need long time to think.
Stellan also lives in the USA, so it also fits well in terms of logistics as he likes to avoid flying, Jörgen continues.
