Football League World logo menu A journalist’s hint indicates Middlesbrough, Southampton, and Norwich City may be interested in the Swedish manager.

Written by Chris Gallagher Nine minutes prior Although their Championship rivals may compete for the Swede, Swansea City is interested in Hammarby manager Kim Hellberg. After his stint at minnows Varnamo, when he led them into the Allsvenskan, the 37-year-old jumped up the divisions to manage Hammarby, earning him a reputation as an exciting coach back home. Over the last two years, Hammarby has finished in second place in the top division twice, and Hellberg has built a vibrant, attacking team that is drawing praise from other quarters.



Kim Hellberg attracting Championship interest for job he’s done with Hammarby


There are questions regarding Hellberg’s future now that the Swedish league is over, as sources on Tuesday confirmed that Swansea is interested in him after Alan Sheehan was fired.




Although it had previously been reported that Swansea was keeping an eye on Hellberg—who has also been connected to Sunderland—the Welsh team ultimately decided to hire Sheehan on a permanent basis. Journalist Tom Coleman disclosed that Swansea has “admirers” from other Championship clubs, so it looks like they won’t receive a free pass at Hellberg. Although no team is named by name, Norwich City and Southampton are searching for a new head coach, and Middlesbrough will be in a similar situation as soon as Rob Edwards’ transfer to Wolves is official. As a result, the four clubs are probably looking for comparable choices, and according to the source, Hellberg is prepared to move to English football because he would be open to speaking with Swansea.



Kim Hellberg would be a bold move worth taking for Championship clubs


It wouldn’t be too expensive to entice Hellberg away from Hammarby because he still has a year left on his deal. Naturally, Hellberg’s inexperience in this country poses a risk to any club that decides to hire him, and it’s never easy for a head coach to join in the middle of the season, particularly if they are unfamiliar with the league.

Swansea City’s Alan Sheehan The Welsh team ultimately hired Sheehan on a permanent basis, despite earlier reports that Swansea was keeping an eye on Hellberg, who has also been connected to Sunderland.

It would be brave of Championship clubs to sign Kim Hellberg. Since Hellberg’s contract with Hammarby is still in effect, it wouldn’t be too expensive to entice him away from the team. Hellberg’s lack of experience in this nation is undoubtedly a danger to any club that hires him, and it’s never easy for a head coach to join in the middle of the season, especially if they are unfamiliar with the league. Middlesbrough’s Riverside Stadium He has done excellent work at Hammarby, though, and we see a lot of quality coaches come in from overseas. When he works with players on a daily basis, he will support himself to help them develop. He also promotes a rapid, high-intensity offensive style, which will be appealing. The fact that four clubs are looking for managerial hires at this time in the season is quite unusual, as previously mentioned, and it adds another level of complexity because clubs are aware that they risk missing out on a significant target if they don’t move quickly. Consequently, it will be interesting to observe Hellberg’s position for these teams and whether he decides to make his Championship debut in the days or weeks ahead.
