It was already clear that Rikard Grönborg would leave the club after the season.
But now the ZSC Lions choose to fire the former Swedish national team captain already now.
In addition, his two assistant coaches, Peter Popovic and Johan Andersson, may also leave the club.
- To give the team new momentum, we decided to change coaches early.
Marc Crawford takes over now immediately instead of next season.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Rikard Grönborg and his two assistants for the work they have done.
I wish the trio all the best in the future, says sports manager Sven Leuenberger to the club's website.
Grönborg came to the club four seasons ago, after a stint as national team captain for Tre Kronor.
It has already been reported that he is close to taking over a Finnish club for the coming season.
