Sjöholm's contract extends over the coming year.
His first task will be to appoint his leadership staff.
“Now it's about establishing the organization around the men's national team and finding the right people for the different roles.
Then we get to see ahead how we move forward and how we plan.
I have a pretty good view of the players in the elite series, I think, because I see them in play all the time during the season ", he says in a press release.
The national team's next gathering is in September.
Michael Carlsson left as the national team captain in April to focus on his job in the elite league team Västerås SK.
