Anders Pålsson will leave his position as chairman of Malmö FF at the club's upcoming annual meeting on March 6. He reportedly flagged to the nomination committee earlier that he intended to step aside within two years. Zlatko Rihter is set to be recommended as the new chairman.
Pålsson became interim chairman in December 2018 after Håkan Jeppsson's sudden death and was appointed permanent chairman in March 2019. According to reports, the decision for his departure was influenced by factors including the team's poor sporting results in 2025 and a significant financial loss of nearly 90 million kronor that year, along with a lack of player sales. Pålsson has acknowledged receiving some criticism over the years but stated he has few regrets, aside from occasionally scolding players and some timing or magnitude of decisions.
