Jimmy Thelin from Jönköping is on the list of possible replacements for Jon Dahl Thomasson as the new captain of the Swedish men's national football team. This is according to information provided to SVT Nyheter Jönköping.
Jimmy Thelin is currently coaching Aberdeen in the Scottish Premier League where he has had a tough start to the season. The team is last in the table after seven games. This after last season's success where Aberdeen won the Scottish Cup for the first time in 35 years.
Current again
Jimmy Thelin was also in the running as the new national team captain the last time the position was filled, when Jon Dahl Tomasson was hired. And after the announcement on Tuesday that Jon Dahl Tomasson was fired, Jimmy is once again on the association's list of possible new national team captains.
Jimmy Thelin made a breakthrough as a coach when he took Jönköpings Södra to the Allsvenskan in 2015 and then moved on to Elfsborg where, among other things, there were two second places in the Allsvenskan.
SVT has applied for Jimmy Thelin.
