Shortly after the turn of the year, Mikkjal Thomassen, AIK's head coach since the summer of 2024, was fired.
On Friday, the replacement was presented: 50-year-old José Riveiro.
"We were looking for a coach who would fit the playing style that AIK strives for, as well as fit into the club's deeper culture. José is an excellent match in both of these areas," says AIK's head of recruitment Miika Takkula in a press release.
Riveiro joins his new club in connection with the upcoming training camp in Spain, which begins on January 26.
"I am very proud and happy to be part of a club that truly lives and breathes football. AIK is a club with a strong identity, high ambitions and an enormous passion around the team," says Riveiro.
The contract extends until December 31, 2028. Last season AIK finished seventh in the Allsvenskan.
