Helsingborgs IF (HIF) has appointed Stevie Grieve as its new manager, replacing Klebér Saarenpää after the previous season. The 39-year-old Scot was brought in from the Finnish club SJK Seinäjoki. Since Grieve's arrival, HIF has reportedly signed ten new players.

The team finished in eleventh place in Superettan last season, a result the club is reportedly far from satisfied with. Fredrik Karlsson, the club's chairman, stated that he is not worried about the changes in the squad, expressing trust in the sporting staff. He mentioned that Grieve has significant influence over the sporting decisions but works within a budget and strategies, collaborating closely with club director Reda Chahrour and technical chief Mikael Dahlberg.
