Djurgarden sacks manager Willie Kirk after a disappointing season in the women's top division. The team has only two wins in eleven matches and is in the relegation zone at the summer break.
What happened?
Djurgarden had a positive start to the season with good football and a semifinal in the Swedish Cup, but the results in the women's top division have not been good enough.
Why is it important for Djurgarden?
Djurgarden finished fourth last season, but this season has been tough. The team has 49 points and is fifth in Allsvenskan with 13 wins, 10 draws, and 7 losses in 30 games, and is 26 points behind leaders Mjallby AIF.
What's next?
The replacements will be two and will be recruited internally. Mikael Widfeldt, formerly assistant coach, and Anders Johansson, most recently development manager in the girls' academy, will take over the responsibility. Djurgarden has scored 52 goals and conceded 32 goals so far this season, with a goal difference of +20.
