IFK Göteborg has reportedly reached an agreement with Nicklas Lauwell to become the new club director, according to unconfirmed reports from Göteborgs-Posten and Expressen. The club is expected to present him shortly. Håkan Mild left his role last autumn, with Sofia Hultberg serving as temporary club director since then.

Club chairman Magnus Nilsson recently stated that a solution was very close, noting high interest from candidates and a focus on a profile with a commercial background rather than purely football experience. Lauwell, 56, previously worked at Duni and has football connections through roles in Hallands fotbollsförbund and as a match delegate for Svensk elitfotboll.
