The Federation Board's overall assessment of Andrea Möllerberg's work resulted in: the trust is exhausted.

Therefore, the Federation's Secretary-General was fired.

Her temporary replacement was found at the secretariat; the head of staff Tobias Tibell.

I basically only have two things to say about the Board's decision, and that is that I respect it and adapt to it, he says during a press conference in Solna.

I also want to say that I am very humble in the face of the background and the reasons that led to me standing here in this temporary role.

Tibell is also focused on the employee perspective in his work.

The starting point is that we should have a well-functioning workforce, we should have peace of mind and we should work together to make Swedish football better.

Tobias Tibell, the chief lawyer who got a new role shortly after Möllerberg took office in November 2023, says that his leadership is based on close dialogue and listening – which, according to the investigations into the storm surrounding the Federation, is something different from under Möllerberg's leadership.

It's about involving, taking in perspectives and then our task is to make the decisions we think are best, he says.
