On Tuesday afternoon, Vårgårda IK present its new coach for the coming season and AT-sport can already tell who it is about.
Namely, it is Peter Ijeh, former Allsvenskan shooter king, who steps into the coaching role at Tånga heath.
Ijeh confirms on Monday for AT-sport that the parties will soon agree.
- We talk to each other but are not quite done with everything yet. But it's close.
How close?
- Before tomorrow, Tuesday, we probably have everything in place. I'm in Stockholm right now but I'm going down to Gothenburg again tonight so we can see how everything is.
Worked as a scout
Peter Ijeh has, to say the least, a solid background in Swedish football when he was the acclaimed top scorer in Malmö FF in 2002 with 24 goals on the account.
After refusing to sign a new contract with MFF, he went as a Bosman case to IFK Gothenburg where there were 13 goals in 36 matches.
He ended his playing career in Gais and has not been very active in football since then.
However, he coached Assyriska BK for a period in division 2.
- Assyrian was the last team I was active in. Since then, I have worked as a scout for some agents, including around players from Africa, says the Nigeria-born Ijeh to AT-sport.
And you are eager to become a coach?
- Yes absolutely!
Do you already know Mohammed Abdulrahman (sports director of Vårgårda)?
- Yes we know each other, not least since the time in Gais when he was there when I left as a player.
What do you know about Vårgårda as a club?
- That they went from division 2, down to division 3 during a very tough year. In addition, they seem to have facilities where everything is in place to be able to train well.
