' The identity of the specific candidate remains unknown. According to Nilsson, IFK Göteborg has been looking for a new club director since Håkan Mild left his role in October last year. ' The new club director is expected to have strengths in the commercial rather than the sporting side, a shift that aligns with changes in the club's structure.
Since Håkan Mild left, the club's operational chief Sofia Hultberg has taken on the role. The club now has a football chief, Jesper Jansson, which changes the reporting structure compared to when Håkan Mild was in charge. Magnus Nilsson explained, 'I think it requires both, but since we have a football chief (Jesper Jansson), it is different than before.
We are very, very close.
' The exact timing of the appointment has not been specified.
But we are talking weeks away rather than months.
