Djurgården coach Jani Honkavaara reportedly wants an analyst in his coaching staff. He first raised the need for an analyst last summer in an interview with Fotboll Sthlm, which caused internal reactions. According to reports, sport director Bosse Andersson reacted negatively when he read about it in the media.

Honkavaara admitted he could have handled the situation better. Despite discussions, no change was made to the staff, and the existing organization continued handling the work. After the Allsvenskan season this winter, Honkavaara told Expressen that his wish still remains.

He emphasized that the current staff manages the task but sees development opportunities, stating that an analyst could help the club win matches by providing a more analytical perspective and better tools.
