Overview
- Motherwell confirmed Alfred Johansson as their new manager, making him the club’s 31st permanent first-team boss.
- Johansson, 35, joins from Norwegian side Rosenborg and brings prior experience working in FC Copenhagen’s youth set-up.
- He replaces Jens Berthel Askou, who left last month to take the job at Ligue 1 club Toulouse.
- Johansson called the move a “huge honour,” said he wants to build on last season’s success, and said he is eager to meet players, staff and supporters.
- The club says the appointment followed a data-driven recruitment process and now presents an urgent task for Johansson to prepare the squad for European qualifiers next month and the domestic season in a few weeks.
