Åge Hareide may be about to do the all-time money deal with Malmö FF.
After the 2-1 defeat away against Salzburg Malmö good chances to take a place in the Champions league group stage. It is worth approximately 105 million Swedish kronor, or roughly 93.5 million in Norwegian currency.
– Should we do this, it will give the club a huge financial foundation for future commitment. There is a lot at stake, and it’s football fever in town. The game was sold out one hour after the settlement in Salzburg, says Hareide said.
Swedish football is completely starved of Champions League football.
– If you win the series and get Champions League games, be your greatest achievement as a football coach?
– Yes, that’s probably it. Champions League is something Scandinavian teams have struggled and worked though Rosenborg and FC Copenhagen have been there a lot.
Fever
Hareide was taken out of football retirement in late autumn last year. He could not say no when the offer came. Cravings for training sessions and matches would not be stopped. He signed with Malmo January 9.
60-year-old packed up and flew to Sweden again. He previously coached Helsingborg (two periods) and Örgryte there.
– is not this the Champions League you will experience, he says.
MFF got Markus Rosenberg in the ranks, and the tip has been very central to success. Malmö leader Allsvenskan clear.
– He is an experienced striker to play in several top leagues in Europe. He has a good relationship with the head of sports here and they had an agreement that he would end his career in his hometown. I guess he was a little tired of sitting on the bench in West Bromwich, said Hareide.
On Top
The Norwegian has become a favorite in Swedish sports press. Hareide delivers rake response and often great newspaper titles.
– He seems “untouchable” right now, even if they do not reach the Champions League. The feeling is that Hareide has succeeded in everything: MFF is on its way to becoming the first club to defend one allsvensk gold in eleven years, he has led the team to at least Europa League group game and he makes it through to rotate players like no other top team in Sweden has done, says Johan Flinck Aftonbladet said.
It destroys nor that Hareide so far, a win percentage of 64.52 with MFF after 31 games. So loud, he has never before been as a coach.
Success MFF Wednesday, it would conditions in the city. Group draw will then give storfin resistance.
– But first we have to play Wednesday. It will be a tough fight, says Hareide. (© NTB)
