On October 19, Andreas Brännström confirmed that he is leaving Mjällby after the season, and recently there has been speculation that the next coaching assignment will be in AIK - which is now official.

- Andreas is a coach that many in our organization are already familiar with.

He possesses a great deal of knowledge, and has great experience in leading and developing players individually and as a team.

We believe his strong and valued leadership can be a guide for AIK in the future, says AIK's sporting director Henrik Jurelius.

Brännström is looking forward to the new challenge.

- I am proud of the trust that has been placed in me.

AIK is the club in Sweden that influences the most people and when the management presented a clear plan for the future it became obvious to me.

Now we have to work very hard so that AIK will be successful for a long time, says Brännström.

The contract runs until 2025.
