Martin Boquist has been part of the Swedish men's national team as assistant national team captain since 2016, first to Kristján Andrésson and then to Glenn Solberg.

But now the 45-year-old can no longer stay.

The Swedish Handball Association has chosen to use a termination clause that both parties have had the opportunity to.

- The choice to screw in the management staff is made because we believe that it is the best way forward for continued development.

We want to constantly improve both individuals and the team as well as Swedish national team handball, says national team manager Hanna Fogelström in a press release.

The union has begun the process of finding a replacement for Boquist.
