Sweden has always been good for Per-Mathias Høgmo, well almost always, and now a few days after he was fired from the Bulgarian big club Ludogorets he is wanted back with his sweet brother.
It is about the Swedish big club Malmö FF, which is still sore that Per-Mathias Høgmo dumped it 13 years ago to become national team manager for Norway.

Now that the 66-year-old is available on the market, football expert in Swedish SVT, Mathias Eriksson, believes that Høgmo is the right man for the big club Malmö FF. “He stands for a confident leadership style”
Malmö FF recently fired their head coach
Malmö FF recently fired their coach Miguel Angel Ramirez, and the job at the club is thus vacant. Malmö is currently in a disappointing 12th place in Allsvenskan.
Høgmo has previously led Swedish Häcken to league gold and also made a good figure as Djurgården coach in 2013.
“Can’t hang one person”
SVT expert Eriksson emphasizes, however, that it is more than just the coach who has failed at the Malmö club.
“They talked about the long term, that it was a strategic decision and that it was a top candidate (Ramirez) they were overjoyed to get. And then, four or five months later, we are left with a failure,” he says to the channel.
“But it’s a whole apparatus, and you can’t hang one person,” says Eriksson.
Can follow in Åge Hareide’s footsteps
Should Høgmo get the job, he will not be the first Norwegian to lead Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s former club. Åge Hareide led Malmö FF in 2014 and 2015, as well as a period in 2022.
English football veteran Roy Hodgson is also another who has been head coach of Malmö FF – from 1985 to 1989.
One would think that Per-Mathias Høgmo would want to give something back to the club he left so abruptly. – In that case, he will be the boss of Norwegian Colin Rösler and Erik Botheim
