He has a track record of developing players to international level and competing for both domestic trophies and in the Champions League, demonstrating his ability to match our own ambitions and philosophy.”

After representing IFK Göteborg and Sweden Under-19 as a player, Robert began his coaching career in 2008 at Ytterby IS, immediately leading the side to back-to-back promotions.
