Halmstad fires coach: A new voice is needed

Halmstads BK has had a tough start to the Swedish football season and is last in the table. Now the club has fired head coach Johan Lindholm.

After six rounds, Halmstad is still without a win, with two draws and four losses. The weak start is now having consequences.

"We are grateful for the hard work and loyalty he has shown over the years, but we have reached a point where the board believes that a new voice is needed to drive the men's team in the direction we want," says Halmstad chairman Pelle Nilsson on the club's website.

Lindholm took over the club as interim coach midway through the 2024 season, after Magnus Haglund had to leave. After securing Allsvenskan status that same year, he received continued trust and signed a three-year contract for 2025.
