Sweden have announced the appointment of Bjorn Hamberg as Graham Potter’s national team assistant manager, despite him being Brighton’s Under-18s head coach.
The 40-year-old first worked with Potter during his time at Ostersunds, and the duo quickly formed a strong relationship, which has seen them move together to Swansea, Brighton, and Chelsea.
After Potter was sacked by the Blues, the pair went their separate ways, with Hamberg spending a brief spell at Eredivisie outfit Feyenoord before returning to the south coast to take up the role as a youth coach.
Speaking to Fotboll Skanalen about his recent international appointment, the Swede expressed his gratitude to the Seagulls for allowing him to take two roles, saying: “Of course, it is absolutely fantastic and glorious.I’m excited and very inspired by the environment itself, with all the players and leaders around here.
