Handball coach Andreas Stockenberg, known as "Stocken", has retired from handball after 39 years. The 44-year-old reportedly announced his decision in a Facebook post, stating he promised himself to quit when he no longer felt passionate about it, and that time has now come. According to reports, he is considered one of the most prominent leaders Swedish handball has ever had, with some calling him a handball genius while others have questioned his orthodox style.
Stockenberg previously coached in Alstermo, where he recalled having seven outfield players and three football players in the team when he arrived. The retirement was reported by sources including Eskilstuna-Kuriren and Barometern-OT.
I promised myself to quit when I no longer felt passionate about it, and that time has now come.
