Daniel Andersson Takes on New Football Chief Role as Malmö FF Restructures Leadership

Malmö FF is undergoing a strategic organizational restructuring aimed at bolstering the club's competitiveness following a sixth-place finish in the Allsvenskan. Daniel Andersson, previously the club's sports director, has been appointed football chief, a role that centralizes responsibility for ensuring the success of both the men's and women's A-teams and the development of talents through the club’s academies.

Interim CEO Niklas Söderström highlighted the changes' intention to create clearer responsibilities and stronger governance within the sports leadership to meet the club's growing demands. Andersson's transition aims to enable more focused leadership, as he had previously split his attention across various tasks.

Alongside this shift, Malmö FF is actively searching for a new sports director for the men's team, expected to be appointed before the summer transfer window. Assistant sports director Ola Toivonen has been offered a new role in the club's daily sports operations, while Maxim Khalil has taken over as the sports director for the women's team.

In addition, Benfica’s Miguel Angel Ramirez has been appointed as Malmö FF’s new head coach after the club's underwhelming league position last season. The club's overall strategy with these leadership changes is to strengthen both immediate performance and long-term success.
