The 40-year-old Apelgren has been the assistant national team captain to Glenn Solberg in recent years, a contract that expired last month.
A week ago, Apelgren told Aftonbladet that he was in dialogue with the Swedish Handball Federation and according to the newspaper, he will sign during the weekend to be presented at the beginning of the week. Maybe it will be in connection with the squad for the EHF Euro Cup matches against France and Denmark in November being presented on Tuesday.
According to Aftonbladet and SVT, an economic agreement has been reached with the Hungarian club Pick Szeged, where Apelgren will continue to work while leading the Swedish men's national handball team.
According to Aftonbladet, Patrik Fahlgren, one of Apelgren's friends, will be the assistant. He is a coach in Hammarby.
