More details

After two years as head coach of Djurgården, Pierre Fondin is now moving on to new assignments according to the Club website.

Pierre joined Djurgården from Växjö DFF during the summer of 2019 with the task of securing the Damallsvenskan place, which he also succeeded in doing when the contract was completed in the dramatic final round of the series.

Last year, there was again a straight battle for the Allsvenskan contract and even then it was decided in the final round when Djurgården defeated Uppsala and was able to focus on continued play in the top flight.

Halfway into the 2021 season, however, Djurgården and Pierre Fondin go their separate ways, according to sports director Jean Balawo, who thanked Pierre for his efforts in the association.

Pierre has helped us a bit along the way in our journey but now we need to take it further with new thoughts and other ideas to take further steps forward. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Pierre for the time he has had with us and wish him great luck in the future”, Jean sums up.

Meanwhile…

Djurgården occupy the eighth position on the Swedish Damallsvenskan table with 14 points from 13 games.

The Club will start life without Pierre Fondin against the coach’s former Club, Växjö DFF on August 28.
