Janne Andersson has been given the role of leadership consultant where he will be part of a sports council that will, among other things, coach the national team captains in leadership, according to SVT.

I will be present as a support in the background, he says. There are national team captains, secretaries general and people working in the daily work, but you want to make some investments on the leadership side and set up a new organization.

How much experience does Janne Andersson have of table tennis? He answers:

I can play table tennis like most people. I have played a little in the basement at home, and I am an old friend of Jörgen Persson and I have followed the whole generation.

Janne Andersson was national team captain from 2016 until and including 2023. He led the national team to a quarterfinal in the World Championship in Russia 2018.
