The club is bleeding economically and recently reported a deficit of around minus 40 million last year.

At Tuesday's annual meeting, Martin Gyllix was elected as the new chairman. According to information from Norrköpings Tidningar, his and the partially new board's first decision will be to clean out the ranks.

And high up.

The newspaper reports that club director Michael Sturehed will be leaving. Economic chief Cajsa Dahlberg will also leave, according to NT's sources.

Gyllix did not want to comment at all after the annual meeting. He is only willing to answer questions after a member meeting on March 19.

Last week, Michael Sturehed told the newspaper that five to six positions will disappear due to the economic situation. He claims that he has not received any information about his future in the club.

You're asking a question right after the annual meeting is over. I haven't even had time to talk to my chairman, he says to Norrköpings Tidningar.

Correction: Clarification regarding IFK Norrköping's economic chief, the club denies that she has been fired.
