Sjögren came to Hammarby last year after being an assistant in the Allsvenskan team IFK Norrköping for a season and before that the national team captain for Norway's women's football between 2017 and 2022. With Sjögren at the helm, Hammarby came third last year and is currently second in the women's Allsvenskan.

Sjögren takes over the NWSL team Chicago Stars after the women's Allsvenskan season is over.

"Until the final whistle in this year's last match, my full focus is on Hammarby", says Martin Sjögren in a statement on his current employer's website.

Chicago is currently second to last, with only one win in 15 matches, in the American women's league NWSL with eleven matches left to play this season.

"The plans that the club have presented to me match my own ambition to build a sustainable and successful organization over time", says Sjögren in a statement on his future employer's website.
