”It feels enormously inspiring to come to Öster and I am both proud and happy to be here. I want to come in and contribute with my energy and that we will play an energetic football. It will be an exciting challenge and I really look forward to getting started”, says Björknesjö in a statement.
The 52-year-old's most recent coaching assignment was as head coach for Djurgården between October and December 2024. He was also coach for Öster in 2014.
”We are in a situation where we need to get in new energy ahead of the allsvenska autumn and then "Robban" fits in perfectly. He has recently gained experience of a similar assignment in Djurgården and I am convinced that this is the best solution in the short term”, says Öster's sports manager Ola Larsson.
After 22 rounds, Öster is on a qualifying spot to stay in the allsvenska.
