Hasse Larsson, 63, has been in Listerlandets pride for most of his life and now he also gets to celebrate a Swedish Championship gold.
I have been in Mjällby for 45 years, far too long actually, but now I got the reward, says Larsson to HBO Max after the 2–0 win away against IFK Göteborg.
Aside from a final spot in the Swedish Cup 2023, two fifth places in Allsvenskan are Mjällby's finest merits – until the Swedish Championship gold 2025, that is.
A title Hasse Larsson did not think the Blekinge team would be able to win.
Not in the league. The Cup I have believed we could win, but not the series. It is incredibly good. It is the achievement medal actually to these guys, he says.
The team had great public support at Gamla Ullevi.
There are 2,000 people here, more than live in our small village back home. It is absolutely fantastic. All the die-hards who have worked so hard. I am so happy for all the elderly people's sake who have followed Mjällby through thick and thin.
