Frank Berntzen led Kalmar to the damallsvenskan this season, but thus leaves the coaching position. David Roufpanah, who among other things has been a scout in Sirius, replaces.
The contract is two years long.
- This environment, there is so much potential in it.
I like it, to be involved in creating something that is not finished.
That uncertainty, which some may find scary, appeals to me.
This is a process and it will be very exciting to be involved in building something new and putting a culture here that is good, says Roufpanah.
Roufpanah has previously been the coach of FC Rosengård's men's team and scout in the all-Swedish Sirius.
The ambition is to try to keep IFK Kalmar in the damallsvenskan.
- We must be humble before every match.
We will get it tough and that is something we will need to be humble about.
We will have to work hard to score points and primarily secure the contract, he says to Barometern.
In addition to the mentioned assignments, the 33-year-old has been an assistant coach in Ängelholm and Värnamo.
