Olle Nordin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Olle Nordin (born 23 November 1949 in Delaryd) is a Swedish football coach and former player. He was capped 19 times for the national team and played at the 1978 FIFA World Cup, but he is best remembered for his coaching merits. As national team coach, he led Sweden to the 1990 FIFA World Cup — its first World Cup since Nordin participated as a player. The tournament was a failure, however, as Sweden lost every match. Nordin was fired shortly thereafter. He managed Norwegian clubs (Vålerenga, Lyn) as well as Swedish IFK Norrköping and AIK.
Currently he manages Jönköpings Södra IF and provides match commentary on Kanal 5.
